HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH RALLY

The 2017 High School Youth Rally will be held on Thursday, October 19, from 1:00-10:00 pm at the University of Mary.

Visit bismarckdiocese.com/high-school-youth-rally for more information.

How Labor Day Began

The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, and planned by the Central Labor Union. In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and hold a "workingmen's holiday." The idea spread, and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country. In 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a federal holiday. Labor Day was to be observed with a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families.

Labor Day Blessing

O God, You asked St. Joseph to accept Your will that his wife-to-be would have a Son. St. Joseph accepted Your will and worked with Jesus as his fa-ther and teacher. We seek Your blessing upon all the work of our hands, and we dedicate our work to Your greater glory. We ask Your blessing upon all workers, especially those who work to make our lives easier and more enjoyable. We ask all this through the intercession of St. Joseph, patron saint of workers, in the name of Jesus Your Son, in the unity of Holy Spirit. Amen.

St. Joseph the Worker, pray for us.
