In 1847, Blessed Pope Pius IX extended to The Universal Church The Feast of The Solemnity of Saint Joseph (Feast Day being The Wednesday after The Second Sunday after Easter), and, in 1870, he declared this Holy Patriarch Protector of The Universal Church.

In 1854, Blessed Pope Pius IX proclaimed The Dogma of The Immaculate Conception of Mary, its Feast Day (8 December) having been already granted to The Whole Church by Pope Clement X in 1708. Pope Leo XIII extended The Vigil of this Feast to The World in 1879.
