About the event
Since the 10th century, several Western countries celebrated March 19 as the Feast of St. Joseph. The feast day became the official practice of the Church in the 1500s. Joseph is a patron of many things. He is the patron of a happy death, families, the Universal Church, fathers, expectant mothers, travelers, craftsmen, immigrants, workers, and engineers. He is also the patron of many countries including the Americas, Canada, Croatia, Mexico, Korea, Austria, and Vietnam. Although St. Joseph is one of the most recognized saints, very little is known about him. Click HERE to view the resources developed by National Today.
