Sleeping Saint Joseph / San Jose Dormido. Pope Francis told his audience in a visit to Manila that he places a special prayer or request under the statue of sleeping Saint Joseph which is sitting on top of his desk and asks the great Saint to prayer for his request to Jesus. Pope Francis has made this devotion very popular this year. The sleeping Joseph it is also a very popular devotion to assist you to sell your house or buy a piece of property thru his intervention.

We have the statue produce by our partner shop in Lucca, Italy. It's made in a traditional resin mold with white marble powder, then cleaned and finished by the local artist. Next it's painted on the shop by the ladies that have been working there for many years. This image will make a beautiful gift to any family and home. We are very proud to be able to bring this quality at such a reasonable price. We will include a prayer booklet and a small rosary for you as our gift to this beautiful devotion. Blessings to all the families.
