Abstract

Declared by Pope Francis, the year of St. Joseph is an opportunity to deepen the relationship with the Saint and, as a community, strenghten the experience of St. Joseph services. Analysing the history of the cult and visiting the station churches declared by the Bishop of each diocese is one of the ways to get to know St. Joseph. In The Roman Catholic Diocese of Toruń, the station churches are in Chelmno, Grudziadz – Mniszek, Torun and Turznice. The article is a sort of record of the events concerning experiencing the year of St. Joseph within the discussed communities. Moreover, it gives a brief glimpse at the history of particular parishes and the cult of their patron. It also discusses St. Joseph's parish communities and presents the image of St. Joseph in particular station churches.
