The Franciscans connected with the devotion to St Joseph are: St. Bernadine of Sienna, a Franciscan, was instrumental in popularizing devotion to St. Francis. The following popes that were Third Order Franciscans: Bl. Pius IX �- made St Francis the special protector of the Church in 1870. St. Pius X - endorsed the�Litany of St. Joseph for public use Pius XI - designated him special protector against Communism Bl. John XXIII - added St. Joseph's name to the canon of the Mass.
