SAINT OF THE WEEK:
Saint Joseph, March 19, the Feast of St. Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. He is the step-father of Jesus. It has the rank of a solemnity in the Roman Catholic Church; and it is a feast or commemoration in the provinces of the Anglican Church. The earliest records of a formal devotional following for Saint Joseph date to the year 800 and references to him as nutritor Domini (educator/guardian of the Lord) began to appear in the 9th century, and continued growing to the 14th century. March 19 was dedicated to Saint Joseph in several Western calendars by the 10th century, and this custom was established in Rome by 1479. 
In 1989, John Paul II positions Saint Joseph as breaking the old vice of paternal familial domination, and suggests him as the model of a loving father.
