Easy Ways to Celebrate Saint Joseph in Your Catholic Home

By Dianna Kennedy 2 Comments

March is filled with amazing saints — including one of my favorites, Saint Joseph. We’ve gathered an array of ideas to help you celebrate Saint Joseph in your home — from crafts, learning activities, printables, food ideas, books and more.

Looking for ways to celebrate Saint Joseph in your home? These ideas (books, crafts, recipes, activities and more) are perfect for Catholic families, co-ops, or religious education classes.

As a family, we keep it simple most months with a coloring page or book. Other times, we get more involved by adding in crafts, activities, Catholic printables or even Catholic movies.

Gathering ideas and resources can be a little overwhelming for busy moms. I’ve gathered some of our favorite ways to celebrate — don’t feel compelled to do everything. Pick and choose the ideas that work for you.

CRAFTS TO CELEBRATE SAINT JOSEPH

Saint Joseph crafts are an easy way to make the feast day super fun for your littles.

These ideas are quick and simple, but still have plenty of fun factor for your children.

FOODS TO CELEBRATE SAINT JOSEPH

What better way to celebrate and learn about a saint than food?

In our home, saint celebrations and feast days are marked with a special dish, either from the saint’s country of origin or that share some connection to the saint’s life.

For Saint Joseph’s feast day, it’s traditional to serve Italian dishes. You can find some ideas here, in these meatless meals for Lent.

You’ll find more traditional dishes for St Joseph’s day, including pasta dishes, and fig cookies.

For your St Joseph’s feast, you’ll need an altar. Learn about the symbolism of the different foods here.

Need a dessert? This Gingerbread Tool Box is adorable.

But — don’t feel like you have to make a huge, elaborate feast. Planning something simple, but lots of fun, is one of the very best ways to celebrate a feast day. Don’t miss Pam’s ideas.
