The Silent Protector. The Faithful Provider. St. Joseph.

He never spoke a recorded word in Scripture. Yet St. Joseph remains one of the most beloved saints in the Catholic tradition.

God chose him to be the earthly father of Jesus Christ and the husband of Mary. He protected the Holy Family, worked with his hands, and served with quiet faithfulness.

In addition, St. Joseph reminds us that greatness does not always need attention. Often, the most important acts of love happen quietly, faithfully, and with purpose.

This beautifully laminated Kilgarlin prayer card features a classic image of St. Joseph on the front. The prayer appears on the back, and gold color accents give the card a traditional devotional finish.

Carry it as a daily reminder of his intercession. You can also give it to a father, husband, worker, or anyone seeking protection and guidance.

The Prayer

O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires.

O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine Son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

So that having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers.

O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms.

I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.

Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me. Then ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath.

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen.

A Mission Behind Every Card

ShopCatholic was founded by Shawn Kilgarlin, a wife, mother of four, mental health clinician, and life coach. Her mission goes beyond creating Catholic devotional products.

Every Christmas Eve, Shawn donates gifts to people in need through Holy Angels. Moreover, she volunteers at addiction treatment centers and offers grounding boxes and group classes.

Her children, Loyola University students, and local high school students also help prepare gift bags for families in need. As a result, every purchase supports a wider mission of faith, compassion, and giving.

When you purchase a Kilgarlin prayer card, you become part of that mission.
