Saint Joseph Activities Pack
We don’t know many details about St. Joseph, but he was a model of trust in God. Celebrate the life and example of St. Joseph with our fun activities pack. The pack includes:

  • a cute puzzle for children to color
  • a word search to spark discussion on Joseph’s hidden life
  • a family game idea inspired by Luke 2:41–52
  • a sheet inviting exploration of lessons Jesus might have learned from Joseph, just as we learn lessons from our parents and other special adults in our lives.

Use the packet on the March 19 feast of St. Joseph, the May 1 feast of St. Joseph the Worker, or any day focused on exploring the saints.

“Each of us can discover in Joseph—the man who goes unnoticed, a daily, discreet and hidden presence—an intercessor, a support and a guide in times of trouble. Saint Joseph reminds us that those who appear hidden or in the shadows can play an incomparable role in the history of salvation. A word of recognition and of gratitude is due to them all.”

—Patris Corde (With a Father’s Heart), apostolic letter by Pope Francis

Three Mystics Who Exemplify Easter People

We are Easter people! That does not mean that we celebrate Easter with a party, complete with baskets and chocolate bunnies (though I love that iconic confectionary as much as anyone). Being Easter people means that we are animated by the same kind of love that defeated death itself. We are people who see Christ still present and walking among us today—in Scripture, in the sacraments, in the works of mercy, and in one another. […]
