SAINT JOSEPH
Feast Day: March 19
Patron of Fathers, Carpenters, and Homesellers

Saint Joseph was a young carpenter from the town of Nazareth. He was engaged to Mary. Before he and Mary lived together, the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her that God had chosen her to be the mother of His son. An angel also told Joseph, “Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. You are to name her child Jesus.” Joseph awoke and did all the angel had told him to do.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem, an angel spoke to Joseph in a dream, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt! Stay there until I tell you.” Joseph arose quickly and took Jesus and Mary to Egypt. Later they returned to Nazareth, where Joseph worked hard to take care of Mary and Jesus, whom he loved.
