Never buried St. Joseph, but one time when I was looking for another lost item....my Catholic girlfriend told me...oh, you pray to St. Anthony. St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost causes....any way....you just say.
Tony, Tony (apparently she was pretty tight w/ him...calls him a nickname)....look around, something's lost it must be found. Guess he likes us Baptists too....cause that works every time. No joke. Recently step mom misplaced her rings...she said she'd be looking for days....gave her the prayer...presto, bingo...Tony at your service.

Edited to add...I did not pray to St. Anthony to find our "lost" hamster and I am not doing it NOW....cause I definitely don't wanna FIND him NOW.

A friend of mine did this in Missouri...and her house sold quickly after being on the market for a while before she heard to do this.

Funny thing is...after she sold the house and moved a friend asked her did you dig up the statue? nope..they tell her you have to dig it up or you won't have good luck anymore (or something like that)...so one night she is stopping by picking up mail that had been delivered to old house, the new owner called and told her they would be gone, but would leave the mail in the mailbox for her....well she decided that was her perfect opportunity to dig up St Joseph...she parks her car so the lights are shining in the flower bed and is on her knees digging in the dark trying to find it, when the lights all come on and the new owners open the door and ask if they could help her with something She was so embarrassed, she just said No thank you...and left

OMG, that is hysterical.. I would have died.. Funny thing is I was just thinking, "Man, if this works I'm digging this baby up and taking him with me.." Guess I will be doing that for sure!!

Bad luck theory proven. Wonder if that couple went out and dug to see what was in there....I'm sure they thinking...something good must be buried here

I bet they did! Friend said it was like a scene out of Desperate Housewives! Her 14 yr old son was in the car...he had told her I don't think this is a good idea...and was hiding on the floor of the car while she was digging!
