More about St. Joseph......
St. Joseph is a man of great spirit though there is very little about the life of Joseph in Scripture. We know that he was the chaste husband of Mary, the foster father of Jesus, a carpenter and a man of simple wealth. We also know that he came from the royal lineage of King David.
We can see from his actions in scripture that Joseph was a compassionate man and obedient to the will of God. He also loved Mary and Jesus and wanted to protect and provide for them.
Since Joseph does not appear in Jesus' public life, at his death, or resurrection, many historians believe Joseph had probably died before Jesus entered public ministry.
St. Joseph is the patron of the universal Church, fathers, the dying and social justice.
