New documentary from the Knights of Columbus sheds light on St. Joseph

Find out how to view St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father, a new documentary for the Year of St. Joseph.

A new documentary, St. Joseph: Our Spiritual Father, sheds light on one of the most hidden protagonists in the Bible. The 60-minute documentary premieres on ABC-affiliated stations across the country, October to early December. The film’s release coincides with the final months of the special Year of St. Joseph. The documentary offers an opportunity to learn about Jesus’ foster father from a historical perspective and the extent to which a devotion to him can be life changing.

While the Gospels have not preserved any of his words, his actions have resounded through the ages. St. Joseph stands out as the model of virtue and fatherhood, a brilliant example of obedience to God and trust in Divine Providence. His role as protector of families and Patron of the universal Church has never been more needed. Featuring interviews with leading experts and powerful testimonials, this new documentary provides viewers with a glimpse into why Most Rev. James Wall, Bishop of Gallup, New Mexico, would venture to say: “If you have a devotion to St. Joseph, strengthen that devotion. If you don't, you should have one.”

In St. Joseph, we see our mission and mandate. Guard the family. Guard the truth. He led through service and creative courage. So must we. It is the only way to overcome the hurdles facing our families, the Church and our culture. (Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly)
