Joseph was an ignorant and poor child, who failed at shoemaking and became a priest. He was wellknown for his ability to miraculously levitate, leading to his patronage of all things flying. He was devoted to God and his life was overwhelmed with trances of happiness whenever the Faith was mentioned. Although he was not allowed to participate in the regular events of mass, and was moved around from one Capuchin or Franciscan house to another, he remained joyous and loyal to his faith. <p>Patronage: Pilots, Air travelers, Astronauts, Students, Test takers. Feast Day: September 18
