Our Vision

Following the example of St Joseph, we grow in faith, work hard, love others and use our God-given gifts to make a difference in the world.

St Joseph is an important example for us. He listened to God, trusted in Him, worked faithfully, cared for his family and served others with humility and love.

Our Mission

‘Living, Learning and Loving in Christ’

Our Mission:

• We are children of God, wonderfully made by Him
• We are God’s hands and feet on Earth to serve others
• We make a difference in our school, families and community
• We use the tools given to us by God to work hard every day

Our Mission is rooted in Scripture and the example of our saints and so we, the community of St Joseph’s is called to action, through the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, to live out this Mission..

Scripture links:

“So God created mankind in his own image.” Genesis 1:27

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”Matthew 25:40

As the prayer attributed to St Teresa of Ávila reminds us:      ‘Christ has no body now but ours, …’
