It can often be difficult for many people to find dignified work in our society. There are many reasons that people might struggle with finding a job or with finding work that they are well suited for.
The Church recognizes that dignified work through which we can support ourselves is a good and holy pursuit. We recognize that St. Joseph, in particular, is a great example of holy work. He spent a lot of his life working as a carpenter and teaching Jesus how to work as a carpenter. We celebrate this role of St. Joseph’s on the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, May 1st.
Many people turn to St. Joseph for intercession as they search for a job. He can be a powerful intercessor for all of us who are searching for good employment.
