St. Joseph, Spouse of Our Lady

St. Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary and foster-father of our Lord, faithfully and humbly carried out the difficult and glorious mission entrusted to him by God and thus became the model of domestic virtues and humble daily toil, the guardian of chaste souls and the protector of Christian homes. Veneration of St. Joseph is of relatively recent introduction in the Church’s liturgy. This feast was fixed on March 19 in the fifteenth century and added to the general calendar of the Church in 1621. Pope John XXIII added St. Joseph’s name to the Canon of the Mass in 1960, the first addition made to the Canon in over a thousand years.

Mater Dei Latin Mass Parish, located in Irving, Texas, is a Catholic church served by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) with the approval and blessing of the Most Reverend Edward J. Burns, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas.

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter is a Clerical Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical right, that is, a community of Roman Catholic priests who do not take religious vows, but who work together for a common mission in the world. The mission of the Fraternity is two-fold: first, the formation and sanctification of priests in the cadre of the traditional liturgy of the Roman rite, and secondly, the pastoral deployment of the priests in the service of the Church.
