This year our family is honoring Saint Joseph in March by coloring these triptychs or paper shrines with a variety of prayers asking for his intercession. We've put them around the house to pray as we come by them. Especially on his feast day, March 19th. Here I'll show you what we made, what prayers we chose, and give you a link to a free file to print at the end of this post.
The Litany to Saint Joseph has helped us to realize that he wasn't just a good dad to Jesus, but that he is an admirable role model and protector of the church.
Saint Joseph of the Holy Family, pray for us. Even our play areas have faith integrated.
It's good for our family to be aware that we are surrounded by Saints who care about us, even though we can't see them. I hope they'll look up from their lessons and pray awhile.
How often do we contemplate the loving arms of St Joseph wrapped around baby Jesus, calmed by his steady heartbeat, feeling completely safe and comforted. Saint Joseph emanated the love of God the Father to Jesus throughout his life. It is our hope as parents we do the same for our children.
Saint Joseph the Worker, help me to complete my daily tasks out of love for God and the people He has put in my care. Real life happens, ordinary tasks need doing, and that's a big part of the mission God has given us - to do the ordinary things with great love.

I currently do not have a variety of Saint Joseph coloring pages created by myself to share. Because of copyrights, I cannot have other people's images on my creation for you. So my recommendation is to print out your favorite coloring pages or images from online, or out of a Catholic sales magazine and paste them onto the template I have made with all the prayers in this triptych style page. I was able to include at least 3, the one below being something I drew! At least this will get you a head start on the project.
