 St Joseph's Feast Day 

Saturday 19th March was the Feast of St Joseph.

St Joseph lived a simple and yet very important life, he provided for his family and loved them. St Joseph worked as a carpenter and was a good father to Jesus. In the Bible there are no stories about Joseph doing great things. Joseph was a humble man who did what he could to look after and love his family in a humble and quiet way. St Joseph is the patron saint of workers.

Our school was founded by the Sisters of St Joseph who worked quietly, humbly and practically to help others just as St Joseph did. 

This week we pray for all of the Sisters of St Joseph, that they may know God’s constant love and continue to follow in the footsteps of St Joseph through caring and supporting families and the less fortunate. 

Prayer of St. Joseph 

St. Joseph,

watch over me

and care for me

just as you cared for

the child Jesus;

and by your help,

may I come to know

your Son,

and so grow

in strength

and wisdom

and the favour of God.

Amen
