On March 19, the Catholic Church commemorates Saint Joseph's Day, honoring Saint Joseph as the universal patron of the Church and families. In Belém, the Archdiocese has organized a wide array of activities in parishes dedicated to the saint in neighborhoods such as Canudos, Umarizal, and Águas Lindas, as well as in the district of Outeiro. The celebrations include masses and novenas that encapsulate the community's devotion.

Saint Joseph, also known as Saint Joseph the Worker, is regarded as the patron saint of workers, epitomizing dedication to one's profession and integrity. He is recognized in the Bible as the husband of Mary and the adoptive father of Jesus Christ, described as a just, humble man who obediently followed God's will and took on the responsibility of raising Jesus. The festivities aim to promote his legacy of hard work and family values within the community.

The specific events for the Archdiocese include themed novenas at local parishes like São José de Queluz in Canudos, emphasizing inclusivity with the slogan “In the house of Saint Joseph, everyone has their place.” This celebration not only pays tribute to the saint but also fosters a sense of unity and belonging among the community members during this solemn occasion.
