Front Row Joe
In our family, we attribute front row parking spaces to the intercession of St. Joseph, whether he likes it or not.
Raising Saints
Happy and Holy
St. Joseph is the intercessor for a happy and holy death. He died both. The best of deaths.
Sleeping Saint Joseph
There are many parallels between the Old Testament Joseph, the dreamer, and our beloved Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus, who silently obeyed the Lord each time He revealed Himself while Joseph slept.
The Silent Witness of St. Joseph
During these pivotal moments, we were completely unaware that St. Joseph was silently protecting us just as he protected Mary and Jesus.
St. Joseph, Pray for Us
So please, St. Joseph, pray for us, to see the moments in family life that could challenge our patience as what they really are – gifts.

The Holy Family, not the Perfect Family
“May I,” “Thank you,” and “I’m sorry.” These three phrases can help us to have a holy family, after the example of the Holy Family.
