On the occasion of the patronage of this house of God – it is dedicated to San GIUSEPPE – a few brief thoughts from Mario Amico: „Jesus’ foster father is a fascinating person, even if we know little about him. It is interesting how God contacts Joseph. Not a grand apparition, but God encounters him in a dream, and not just once. He was touched by the dreams, he did not question them, but put them into action. Yes, he is a man of action (…). A firm faith, firm trust in God, and an empathetic ability to ascertain who needs his help – these spur him on and enable him to actively implement God’s instructions. (…) Even if Joseph is a rather unassuming, quiet saint, he should be a great role model for us today.“
