Manila apostolic administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo said the primary mission of the group, which has yet to be named, would be to introduce the life of St. Joseph to Filipino men to emulate the saint’s virtues as head of the Holy Family. “Part of the legacy we bishops would like to leave people during this year of St. Joseph is to form a national organization or group dedicated to St. Joseph for his devotion,” he told an online press conference on March 10.
