Feast Day of St. Joseph 

Wednesday, March 19, 2025

The Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Saint Joseph, earthly father of Jesus and spouse of the Virgin Mary. Saint John Baptist de La Salle chose Saint Joseph as the Patron and Protector of the Brothers’ Institute. Devotion to Saint Joseph was considered by Saint La Salle as most appropriate for the Brothers, in particular, and for teachers in general because Saint Joseph was commissioned by God to take care of the Child Jesus, a child not his own yet he loved so much. Like Saint Joseph, Brothers and educators are called to care for the students entrusted to their care.
