Is there a more special saint than St. Joseph?

While we have many male saints to admire, there is something extra special about Jesus' foster father. That is why we are excited to make a pilgrimage to honor his Feast Day on March 19th!

While little is recorded about him in Scripture, St. Joseph is described as a just and righteous man who faithfully followed God’s will. When he learned of Mary’s pregnancy, he initially planned to divorce her quietly, but after an angel appeared to him in a dream, he accepted his role as protector of the Holy Family.

A carpenter by trade, Joseph provided for Jesus and Mary, raising the Son of God with love and devotion. He is honored as the patron saint of fathers, workers, and the universal Church.

Please join us now as we make a pilgrimage to his namesake Shrine of St. Joseph:

Located in Stirling, New Jersey, the Shrine of St. Joseph is billed as a "prayerful respite" that honors Mary's husband and is also a fantastic place to grow one's faith.

Owned and operated by the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, the Shrine of St. Joseph offers pilgrimages for Catholics, both cradle and new, with either Shrine staff or on their own.

There is so much to see and do during your visit to the Shrine of St. Joseph, including a Stations of the Cross, various icons and mosaics, and the unique Tower of Remembrance (constructed of actual beams from the World Trade Center).

Mass at the Shrine of St. Joseph is celebrated Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 8 a.m., Saturday evening at 5:30, and Sunday at 8 a.m., 9:45 a.m. (Spanish), and 11:45 a.m.

What is a pilgrimage without ample time for prayer, adoration, and confession? You can do all of the above at the Shrine.
