Today, March 19th is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Since St. Joseph was the earthly spouse of Mary, the earthly father of Jesus and the head of the Holy Family, he is of great importance.
He’s also important to my family.
The saints are one of the most beautiful aspects of the Catholic Faith.
We connect to different saints for different reasons.
One saint I’m particularly drawn to is: Bernadette Soubirous.
One day, my friend and I were trying to find out who helped St. Jerome translate the scriptures into Latin…
I stumbled across this information while searching for a saint to write about, not while searching for an answer to our question!

Because there are so many connections, it seems this information was revealed for a purpose.

Since I enjoy learning about the saints, and they’re an important part of the Catholic Faith, I decided to create a series for them.
The new series is called Saint Spotlight.
In this series I’ll highlight a saint for a specific purpose. It will most likely be a saint whose feast is celebrated in the current month.
I’ll describe the life of the saint and provide interesting information that I find.
I’ll choose saints from different time periods and walks of life, some well-known and some obscure.

On October 13th, Pope Francis will canonize five people at a Mass in Saint Peter’s Square.
These men and women will officially be declared “Saints” following the Catholic Church’s formal procedure:
