Lesson 1 – St. Joseph: Protector of the Holy Family

In this lesson, Fr. François Bandet leads you on a multi-millennial journey, from the creation of our first parents, till the Incarnation of the Word. And he explains the providential mission that was reserved for one man: St. Joseph, chosen to be the Virginal Father of the Incarnate Word and the Spouse of the Mother of God.
