Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and the husband of Mary. St Joseph was a quiet, humble, hard-working man. There’s such a lot we can learn from him and we ask for his prayers today.
St Joseph is the patron saint of fathers:
we pray for the dads of the pupils and staff of St Bartholomew’s.
St Joseph is the patron saint of workers:
we ask him to help us do our very best work in school today.
St Joseph is the patron saint of carpenters:
we thank God for all the workmen who have done so much to improve our school building this year.
