The Role of Fatherhood in Today's Society: Lessons from St. Joseph

In this video, we delve into the importance of fatherhood in today's society and the lessons we can learn from St. Joseph, patron saint of fathers. According to the United States Census Bureau, nearly twenty million children grow up without their fathers, and the absence of father figures in the home has led to young children and teens displaying an increase in depression, anxiety, and social isolation. To better understand the current crisis in families today and what men in particular can learn from St. Joseph's example, we spoke with Msgr. Pietro Bongiovanni, priest at the Sanctuary of San Salvatore in Lauro in the heart of Rome, who has counseled countless couples in the preparation for marriage. Join us as we explore the role of fatherhood and the impact of St. Joseph's example on families today.
