St Joseph's Feast Day 19th March

Joseph was a carpenter-a builder-who taught Jesus his trade.  What we know about the life of Saint Joseph is contained in the gospels of Saint Matthew and Saint Luke. He has become known as the "Just man". 

As the Bible tells us, Saint Joseph was descended from the royal house of David. A village carpenter of Nazareth, he was chosen among all men to be the husband and protector of the Virgin Mother of Jesus Christ. To his loving care was entrusted the childhood and youth of the Redeemer of the world. He reveals to us the perfect model of Christianity through his purity of heart, patience, and fortitude. 

Poor in worldly possessions, he was rich in grace. His feast day is celebrated on March 19th.
