Long honored by the Church and proclaimed Patron of the Universal Church by Blessed Pius IX, devotion to Saint Joseph flourishes especially on Wednesdays, in the month of March, and on his feasts of March 19 and May 1.

Honor Saint Joseph through the Litany of Saint Joseph, the prayer 'To you, O blessed Joseph,' the Holy Cloak novena, and dedicating Wednesdays to him; invoke him as patron of a happy death, of workers, and of fathers and families.
