Summary/Abstract: The 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 declaration of St. Joseph as the patron of the Catholic Church, encouraged all to get to know this person, who has been close to everyone for centuries. The article presents 10 hymns 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 these hymns reveals the extraordinary veneration in which St. Joseph is held 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.
