March Dedication

We know that the earthly father of Jesus and the spouse of the Blessed Mother was a holy and just man, even though not much is recorded about him in the Scriptures. He has obediently followed God's plan for him and his family and humbly accepted his place in the history of salvation. Among the many saints who promoted devotion to this great man is St. Alphonsus Liguori. He declared: 

"We should, indeed, honor St. Joseph, since the Son of God Himself was graciously pleased to honor him by calling him father...If, then, the King of Kings was pleased to raise Joseph to so high a dignity, it is right and obligatory on our part to endeavor to honor him as much as we can.”

Celebration Ideas: Pray the Litany of St. Joseph and consider consecrating yourself to his care.
