2021 Respect Life Poster Contest
for Catholic School and Religious Education StudentsThis is the Year of St. Joseph!
St. Joseph was the foster father of Jesus and the protector of the Holy Family. Known as the silent saint, Joseph’s words were not recorded in the bible, but we know by his actions that he was faithful to God.
When Joseph found out that Mary was going to have a baby, he patiently followed God’s plan for his family. After Jesus was born, Joseph helped his family travel to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod during the murder of the Holy Innocents.
St. Joseph is an amazing saint for the pro-life movement because of his willingness to accept God’s plan, his immediate response of what God asked him to do, and his industrious spirit.
St. Joseph’s life should be a reminder to us of the importance of fatherhood. We can always turn to him as a spiritual father in times of need.
Draw a picture
While the Holy Family lived in Nazareth, they had a life just like yours, they worked, went to school, ate together, cleaned their house, and spent time with family and friends. Draw a picture either of a “special day” in the life of St. Joseph, such as the birth of Jesus, or of an “ordinary day” in the life of St. Joseph such as working or spending time with Jesus and Mary.
