In Montreal we have a minor Basilica and plus a shrine (although it is actually the largest Church in Canada), with statue of Saint Joseph at the far bottom of the Basilica (like seriously, from this statue to get inside to the Basilica, we do have to walk quite a bit, but in summer it is very lovely to do with beautiful flowers, well tended area, just very lovely).
Saint Joseph is patron saint of workers and also protector of Catholic Church, but of course as you know, he was husband of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ.
I believe the baby on his arms is baby Jesus.
Thanks For Looking!
