Tuesday, May 1st, Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker

The optional Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker is a

relatively new addition to the calendar. It was introduced

by Pope Pius XII in 1955, as an alternative to secular May

Day celebrations of the worker,

which originated in Communist

countries and which did more to

promote Communist propaganda

than to promote the worker. Pope

Pius XII urged workers to look to

Saint Joseph the carpenter and to

see the dignity inherent in human

labor, which could become a source of holiness. The

prayers for today from The Roman Missal call Joseph our

“wise and faithful servant” who is our patron as we

“complete the works [God] set us to do.”
