What is the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker?

“While Saint Joseph’s primary feast day is March 19, in 1955 Pope Pius XII added a second day on May 1, celebrated as the Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker. As a carpenter, St. Joseph worked very hard. His manual labor was difficult, and he is a great example to all of us in our daily work. In addition, he is a powerful intercessor for those who are seeking employment.” EWTN faith Journey
