    Why the Church Celebrates Saint Joseph 

    On March 19, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Saint Joseph. In a blog post on Patheos.com Pat Gohn reminds us why Joseph is such an important saint.

As Mary and Jesus are entrusted to Joseph, so too, does the Church, entrust itself to Joseph’s active patronage and paternal protection, as Patron of the Universal Church.
