The feast of Saint Joseph the Worker celebrates the deep relationship between Joseph and the cause of workers. As the foster father of Jesus, Saint Joseph is a model of the holiness of human labor.

St. Joseph isn’t known for being outspoken, but he solemnly bore the brunt of labor and diligently watched over his family as a provider without complain. As the silent saint who never shirked in his noble mission of watching over the Virgin Mary and Jesus, he now cares and watches over the Church and the children of God.
