Dear Parents and Carers,

Today, 19 March, we celebrate the Feast Day of St Joseph. This year, this feast day holds great significance as it also marks the 150th anniversary of the declaration of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, and as such,  Pope Francis has proclaimed a “Year of St Joseph”, running from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021.

Joseph is a wonderful model for Christians as we live in the world. The Word of God spoken in the Scriptures guides us, but many times we have to apply that Word in everyday situations where we must see the reality around us, decide what God desires us to do and then act courageously, justly and with compassion. Joseph shows us how to be persons of the Word of God, whether it is written in books or in the face of God’s creation, unfolding in history.

A beautiful reflection for the month of March can be found below. Through this reflection we are reminded of all that St Joseph inspires us to be.

Leading up to St Joseph’s feast day this week, our daily whole school prayer focussed on the teachings of St Joseph. This is the prayer our community prayed together:
