March 19 is the Feast Day of St. Joseph, husband of Mary. It is actually a solemnity!
What is a solemnity? Here is an answer from Fr. Vincent Serpa from
Catholic.com:
"A solemnity is the highest rank of celebration and is identified in the calendar with an S. Easter, Christmas, All Saints Day, the Ascension, Corpus Christi, and other celebrations of events in our Lord's life on earth and certain saints are solemnities. The Gloria and Creed are always said on such days. Solemnities are like Sundays, though most of them are not days of obligation."
Prayer to St. Joseph:
Saint Joseph, patron of the universal Church, watch over the Church as carefully as you watched over Jesus, help protect it and guide it as you did with your adopted son. Amen.
