Free St. Joseph Coloring Page, Story & Shareable GIF for the Feast Day

Because the saints don’t belong only on the liturgical calendar — they belong at your kitchen table. Here’s everything you need to party like a saint on March 19th.

March 19  ·  Feast of St. Joseph  ·  6 min read  ·  Free resources inside

There's a man in the Gospel of Matthew who never speaks a single word — not one recorded line of dialogue. And yet, everything about the salvation of the world depended on his quiet, faithful yes.

His name was Joseph. And on March 19th, the Church pauses to throw him a party. (Our kind of party.)

But here's what I want to ask you today: What if this feast day didn't just slip by this year? What if, instead of being another date on the calendar, it became a moment — however small — that your children actually remembered? That your students noticed? That a friend received an unexpected burst of joy on an ordinary Wednesday?

That's exactly why we made these free downloads. Not because you need one more thing. But because the saints are waiting to be invited into your ordinary life — and sometimes all it takes is a coloring page, a short story, and a GIF that makes someone smile over their morning coffee.

At Party Like a Saint, that's what we're all about. Small, joyful, intentional acts that build a Catholic culture worth living in. And this? This is a great place to start.


Know the Saint

Who Was St. Joseph — And Why Does He Matter?

Before we get to the freebies, let's spend just a few minutes with the man himself. Because the more we know a saint, the more we can love them — and the more we can help our children love them too.

✦   St. Joseph at a Glance
🪵
His Vocation Carpenter, husband of Mary, foster father of Jesus. A craftsman who built things with his hands — and quietly built the Holy Family with his heart.
🌙
His Obedience Four times in Scripture, an angel appears to Joseph in a dream. Four times, he wakes up and immediately obeys. No questions. No complaints. Just faithful action.
🛡️
His Patronage Patron of the universal Church, workers, fathers, families, the dying, and those in need of homes. Pope Francis added him as patron against the devil in 2013.
📅
His Feast Days March 19 (St. Joseph, Spouse of Mary) and May 1 (St. Joseph the Worker). Two whole feast days for one man who never said a word in Scripture. God notices the quiet ones.
🙏
The Tradition of the Fiat Theologians call Joseph's silent, faithful response his "fiat" — his yes. Just like Mary said yes with words, Joseph said yes with action. Both matter. Both changed everything.

“Joseph didn’t ask for glory. He just got up every morning and did the next faithful thing — and that was enough to change the world.

The Mission

Why Celebrating Feast Days Actually Matters

You might be thinking: "A coloring page is a nice idea, but does it really make a difference?"

Here's what we believe — and what we've seen over and over again in Catholic families and classrooms: culture is built in the small moments. Not in grand gestures. Not in perfect programs. In the repeated, ordinary acts of intentionality that say: this matters to us. These saints are part of our story. Holiness is for us.

When a child colors a picture of St. Joseph and hears the short story about the man who protected Jesus, something quietly roots in their imagination. When a friend receives a feast day GIF and thinks, "oh, I forgot it was St. Joseph's feast day," a tiny seed of joy is planted.

None of this is heroic. All of it is holy.

The most powerful way to pass on the faith isn't through a curriculum. It's through a culture — a home, a classroom, a community where the saints feel like neighbors.

That's why we created these freebies. Not as busy work. As small, beautiful on-ramps to a life where the saints are woven into the ordinary.

Free Gift #4

St. Joseph Toolbox Activity St. Joseph was a carpenter — a man of tools, craft, and faithful, patient work. This hands-on activity invites your children to build their own spiritual toolbox, filling it with prayers or virtues St. Joseph modeled: courage, obedience, silence, faithfulness, and trust. Kids will select a paper out of their tool box to pray for an intention or if choosing write virtues the virtues selected for the day would be the one practiced.

It's tactile. It's imaginative. It's the kind of activity kids remember years later — not because it was flashy, but because it was theirs. Great for home, the classroom, or as a take-home craft at your parish feast day celebration.

✦   How It Works —

Each ‘tool’ in St. Joseph’s box represents a virtue he lived. Or Children can write a persons name they plan to pray for in the coming days.  Children write, draw, or decorate each one — and take home a reminder that growing in holiness is real, daily, hands-on work. Just like his.

Learn From the Saint

5 Virtues St. Joseph Teaches Our Children

One of the most powerful things about coloring pages and short stories is that they open the door to conversation. Here are five virtues you can point to in St. Joseph's life — and the simple questions to ask your children:

01

Obedience without complaint. Joseph obeyed four angelic dreams without hesitation. Ask your child: "What's something hard you've been asked to do? How can you say yes like St. Joseph did?"

02

Faithfulness in hidden work. Joseph's whole life was lived in obscurity — no speeches, no fanfare. Ask: "What's something you do every day that no one notices? Does God notice?"

03

Courage to protect what is entrusted to us. Joseph fled to Egypt in the middle of the night to keep Jesus safe. Ask: "Who has God put in your life that you can protect and take care of?"

04

Work as prayer. As a carpenter, Joseph's daily labor was an act of worship. Ask: "How can we offer our work — even chores — to God today?"

05

Silence and trust. Joseph never speaks in Scripture, yet his trust in God is louder than any words. Ask: "Is there something you're worried about that you could hand to St. Joseph today?"

The saints don’t belong only in stained glass.
They belong in our kitchens, classrooms, and group chats.

A Final Word

You Are Building Something

Every time you print a coloring page and sit with your child. Every time you send a feast day GIF to a friend who didn't even know it was a feast day. Every time you pause in the ordinary rush of life and say, "Hey — today matters. This saint matters. We matter" — you are building something.

You are building a joyful Catholic culture. One small, intentional celebration at a time.

St. Joseph didn't save the world with a speech. He saved it by showing up, doing the next faithful thing, and trusting that God's plan was bigger than his understanding.

You can do that too. Starting with a coloring page, a GIF, and a willingness to party like a saint on an ordinary Wednesday in March.

We'll see you in the inbox. 🌿

St. Joseph, pray for us.
