Patronages of St. Joseph

Excepting the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph is our most powerful intercessor in heaven due to his singular role as the Head of the Holy Family.

St. Joseph is most well-known as the patron saint of fathers, families, and workers. However, he is in fact efficacious over myriad causes.

“Some Saints are privileged to extend to us their patronage with particular efficacy in certain needs, but not in others; but our holy patron St. Joseph has the power to assist us in all cases, in every necessity, in every undertaking.”
