• Safety Comes First

  Mon 08 Jan 2024

  The Educational Support Centre Ltd to inform us that 'Let's Move On', an estate agency based in Crumlin, had very kindly sponsored the delivery of a number of Education Information Booklets to our school.  The booklets entitled 'Safety Comes First' explore the themes of fire safety, internet advice, bullying and road safety and show that by working together we can ensure that we provide a safer and more enjoyable place to work and live. 

   

  Today the Pupil Council delivered a copy of the booklet to every class in school.  Many thanks 'Let's Move On' - We appreciate you doing this for St Joseph's!

  

• The Feast of the Epiphany

  Fri 05 Jan 2024

  Tomorrow, Saturday 6th January, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany. 

   

  The Epiphany is a special date when we celebrate how a star led the Magi - also known as the Three kings or the Wise Men - to visit the baby Jesus after he had been born.  On the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany members of our Faith Group added the Three Wise Men to our school crib to mark this special occasion. 

   

  A prayer for this Special Day:

  Father of light,
  Today you reveal to people of faith your Word made flesh.
  Your light is strong, your love is sure.
  Draw us beyond the limits of this world into your eternal life.
  We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

  Amen.
