Feast of St Joseph

19 March 2009 No Comment

St. Joseph  is the patron saint of the Filipino  Chaplaincy.  The feast of St. Joseph honors the foster father of Jesus, St. Joseph.  His main  feast falls on March 19  while the feast of St. Joseph the Worker falls on May 1.  The Filipino Chaplaincy  celebrates  the main feast of St. Joseph.  If St. Joseph’s day falls during Holy Week, it is moved to the closest possible day to March 19.  This  is  a grand occasion which is sometimes known as the “Filipino  Fiesta”  because  of  the  fiesta atmosphere  where  the  various  Filipino  communities  and  groups  gather  together for a Mass  and  serve  a free  lunch  for all.
