The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has recently given its blessing to launch the Men of St. Joseph- a Catholic Association of Men Committed to Jesus Christ and Consecrated to St. Joseph. The institution of the Men of St. Joseph is the Philippine Church’s response to the call of Pope Francis as contained in his Apostolic Letter - Patris Corde, encouraging us to reflect upon the role of St. Joseph in caring and loving our Savior… with the Father’s heart.
