St. Joseph: Not Your Average Joe! One can not speak about St. Joseph without also incorporating his beloved wife Mary. The chaste young spouses have a singular mission to bear Christ to the entire world. It is the same mission that we all have but they model it with great perfection.

Let your imagination sore as you consider this dearly loved Saint, a man for all times and all seasons and a spiritual father for all.
