Saint Joseph Shirt, Carpenter Dad Tee, Saint Joseph the Worker Gift for Fathers, Woodworkers and Catholic Families

A gentle, warm-hearted gift for Catholic dads, woodworkers and carpenters: a chibi storybook-watercolor Saint Joseph in his carpenter's workshop, mallet in hand and waving hello, says "Not one line in the Gospels. Still ran the workshop."

A cheerful Saint Joseph gift for Father's Day, a feast day on March 19 or May 1, a confirmation, a woodworking dad or a quiet man who just gets things done.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
Saint Joseph, the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus, is honored as the head of the Holy Family. The Gospels tell us what he did: he took Mary into his home, protected the Child, led the family to Egypt and back, and worked as a craftsman in Nazareth. But they never record a single word he said. The Church keeps two feast days for him, March 19 and Saint Joseph the Worker on May 1, and he is the patron of fathers, workers and carpenters.
