“On May 1, 1955, in an address to the Catholic Association of Italian Workers, Pope Pius XII took devotion to Saint Joseph one step further. He confronted the growing concerns posed by communism and its socialist philosophy on human labor and family life by instituting the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker. “The humble craftsman of Nazareth not only personifies to God and the Holy Church the dignity of the laborer, but he is also always the provident guardian of you and your families.” May 1 (May Day) was chosen for the feast because socialist countries celebrated “International Workers’ Day” on that date. A Catholic feast, honoring the laborer in the person of Saint Joseph, was a fitting way of combating socialist ideology and restoring the dignity of labor to its proper place.”

𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑:

Saint Joseph, God gave you a great responsibility in life, and you embraced it with love, devotion, and hard work. You found dignity in your labor as you faithfully carried out the will of God by caring for your family.

Pray for us, that we may always keep the right priorities in life, never turning away from our duty to work, and never working only for selfish gain. Help us to labor with purpose, with love, and for the glory of God.

We choose you as our model and our intercessor, this day and always.

Yesterday, our parish family gathered to mark the beginning of Holy Week with the celebration of Palm Sunday. It was moving to see our community wave branches and retrace the steps of Christ’s triumphal entry.
As the shouts of “Hosanna” give way to quiet reflection, we invite you to join us for our upcoming services. May the palms in our homes serve as a reminder of our commitment to peace as we journey together toward Easter.
