Saint Joseph is the patron saint of the family and protector of the universal Church.

Spouse of Mary Mother of God, Guardian of families, God entrusted His Son and His Immaculate Mother to his paternal protection.

This statue symbolises this paternal protection. Joseph is holding the infant Jesus in his arms with his right hand, while Joseph is holding his right foot.
This shows the exchange of affection between a father and a child and Jesus' trust in his foster father.

On his right arm, Joseph carries a lily, symbolising the chastity of his marriage to the Virgin and his surrender to divine Providence.

He is also, of course, the patron saint of carpenters and most woodworking trades. He is also the patron saint of workers, travellers, exiles and all those in need.

This statue will look great in your home, on your desk or in your prayer corner.

It can also be a perfect baptism or communion gift.
