St. Joseph 48"

This 48-inch St. Joseph statue honors the husband of the Virgin Mary and foster father of Jesus, the just man who protected the Holy Family and taught the Son of God his trade in Nazareth. Blessed Pius IX declared him Patron of the Universal Church in 1870, and the Church keeps his solemnity on March 19 and the memorial of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1. Fathers, workers, and families seeking a home all ask his intercession, and he is invoked as patron of a happy death.

At four feet St. Joseph suits a chapel, a side altar, a Catholic school classroom, or a seminary, and he watches well over an outdoor grotto or a parish shrine dedicated to him.

Finish options: Monotone, Standard Full-Color, and Fancy Full-Color. Monotone and Standard Full-Color are offered for interior or exterior placement; Fancy Full-Color is offered for interior placement only. Made from a lightweight, durable resin-fiberglass blend and painted by hand. +++
