About Saint Joseph the Worker
Joseph of Nazareth supported Mary and Jesus through skilled manual labor, traditionally understood as carpentry. This title, established as a liturgical memorial by Pope Pius XII in 1955, honors the quiet holiness of work and Joseph’s faithful provision for the Holy Family amid the ordinary demands of life.
