As with more in-depth doctrinal teachings on the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Palmarian Church has lauded the greater emphasis on [[Saint Joseph]] and his nature as a member of the [[Holy Family]] in more recent times, which began in 1870 with Pope Pius IX proclaiming Saint Joseph ''Patron of the Universal Church'' and [[Pope Leo XIII]] issuing the encyclical ''[[Quamquam pluries]]'' in 1889. In addition to this, [[Pope John XXIII]] added the name of Saint Joseph to the [[Roman Canon]] in 1962 and according to the Palmarians, he "professed great love for Most Glorious Saint Joseph."<ref name="pjxxiii">Palmarian Church.

The Palmarian teachings on Saint Joseph are included in the ''Credo'' and thus must be publicly professed by all believers.{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=213}} The teachings on the nature of Saint Joseph are inherently tied to his relationship to the Blessed Virgin Mary and thus Jesus Christ. The Palmarian Church proclaimed as doctrine in 1978, that Saint Joseph was [[Sanctification in Christianity|pre-sanctified]] in the womb of his mother in the third month after his conception. The significance of this pre-sanctification is that from this point on he was freed from the stain of [[original sin]]. Thus, unlike the Blessed Virgin Mary's [[Immaculate Conception]], his existence was not immaculate from the point of conception, but by the time he was born into the world he was born without the ability to commit any sin during his existence, as a worthy spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary (the "Second [[Eve]]"). The Palmarians teach that Saint Joseph remained a virgin throughout his life and never questioned the [[perpetual virginity of Mary|perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary]]. The Palmarian Church also declared as doctrine that the year after the [[resurrection of Christ]], Saint Joseph was resurrected and assumed into heaven, in body and soul.{{sfn|Lundberg|2020|p=213}}
