St. Mark

Patron Saint of the Coptic Church, Egypt itself, the city of Venice, Italy, Lawyers
The Church celebrates the Feast Day of St. Mark, Apostle and Evangelist, on April 25. He was one of the four writers of the Gospels, who provide us with a clear account of the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. We know St. Mark, therefore, mostly through his authorship of the second Gospel­­–the Gospel according to St. Mark. From elsewhere in Scripture, he is also known to have accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their journeys.  From tradition, he is known to have been the secretary of St. Peter and the founder of the Church in Alexandria, Egypt.

St. Joseph the Worker

Patron saint of Families, Fathers, Expectant Mothers, Travelers, Immigrants, House Sellers, Buyers, Craftsmen, Engineers, Working People
While Saint Joseph’s primary feast day is March 19, in 1955 Pope Pius XII added a second day on May 1, celebrated as the Memorial of St. Joseph the Worker. As a carpenter, St. Joseph worked very hard. His manual labor was difficult, and he is a great example to all of us in our daily work. In addition, he is a powerful intercessor for those who are seeking employment.
