Putting in the work

The feast of St. Joseph the Worker is celebrated on May 1st and to commemorate this special title of his we've created a new Saint Joseph the Worker Tiny Saint!

Joseph was a humble man with a royal heritage. He came from a line of kings and yet applied himself each day to basic toil. This unique title of his celebrates the dignity of human labor to which we are all called; modeled for us by this simple man from Nazareth.

Alongside his other titles, Joseph the Worker is invoked especially as the patron of laborers and those seeking employment (particularly migrants and refugees).

Joseph gave his best each day with integrity and put his hope in the providence of God from whom he had received every good thing in his life.

Saint Joseph the Worker, pray for us!

This special title of Saint Joseph recalls his role as a craftsman laboring daily with humility, discipline, and skill under a trade which he passed on to the Son of God.
