The Diocese of Sioux Falls celebrates Saint Joseph the Worker as their patron. Our sisters join in this commemoration with prayer for our diocese and Bishop Paul Swain on this day.
However, this day honors not only St. Joseph, but also the labor of his hands that he taught to Jesus. They are blest who continue to carry out God's command to steward all of His creation through their work, and they are blest who seek to honor all with labor that helps to lift up Catholic Social Teaching: the dignity of work and the rights of the worker.
"Joseph, the faithful and prudent steward,
you have been set over the household of the Lord."
~Vespers Antiphon
