2021 -The Year of St Joseph

This year the Catholic Church marks the 150th anniversary of the proclamation of St Joseph as the patron saint of the universal church. Pope Francis has declared 2021 as the Year of St Joseph. 

Pope Francis reminds us that Joseph loved Jesus with a Father's heart and that all four Gospels refer to Jesus as the Son of Joseph. There is not one record of a word spoken by Joseph in the Scriptures yet aside from Mary the mother of Jesus, no other person is recalled more in the teachings of the Church up and down the centuries. Joseph put his family before himself, his actions speak louder than his words. St Joseph was content to be hidden because he was not all about himself. St Joseph was all about God.

Just a reminder this Friday 19th March we are fundraising for Caritas by celebrating Harmony Day/National Day Against Bullying with a free uniform day.
