Abstract

The presented article is a response to the call of the Holy Father Francis, who by publishing a letter on December 8, 2020 on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the announcement of St. Joseph, the patron of the Catholic Church, encouraged him to get to know the person who has been close to everyone for centuries. Therefore, the topic was taken up, aimed at presenting 10 songs in honor of St. Joseph, from the Collection of Religious Catholic Songs to Be Sung in Church or at Home published in Pelplin in 1871. The analysis of the songs reveals the extraordinary veneration that St. Joseph rejoices in the Church. These pieces, performed during the liturgy, became a systematic catechesis that explained biblical events and introduced the content of the Catholic faith.

Keywords:

St. Joseph, the Year of St. Joseph, hymn, 19th century
