The husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus, St. Joseph holds a special place in the hearts of Granite State Catholics as the patron saint of the Diocese of Manchester. He is also the patron of our church and parish in Salem! The cathedral church is named after him as are seven other parishes, three schools, one hospital and six cemeteries. This Saturday, March 19, is the Feast of St. Joseph! St. Joseph watch over us and pray for us.
