Pope ( ✝️ 1963 Anno Domini A.D.) Feast: 11 October
John XXIII, who reigned as pope ♗ from 1958 until his death in 1963, was given the middle name Joseph at birth and became a bishop on March 19, the feast of Saint Joseph. These facts influenced him deeply. He is sometimes called a Pope of Saint Joseph, like Blessed Pius IX, and seriously considered the name Joseph when he was elevated to the papacy. He decided against it out of respect for precedent, no prior pope having taken that name. But though he took the name John, he always celebrated March 19 as his name day.

Pope John referred to Saint Joseph frequently in his addresses, and was open about his personal devotion. "He is the most powerful intercessor, from whom nobody is turned away without being heard." One year, on the feast of the Presentation (Candlemas) , he had candles 🕯️ sent to all the principal shrines ⛪ of Mary and Joseph. He made a point of beautifying 👨🎨 Saint Joseph's altar in Saint Peter's Basilica as a symbol of the increased devotion he wished to see instilled in the faithful.

Pope John established Saint Joseph as patron of Vatican II, and furthered the causes for Joseph's devotees Leonard Murialdo and Andre Bessette. Effective December 8, 1962, Pope John had Joseph's name added to the canon of the Mass 🫓 🍷 . He died on June 3, 1963.
