our patron
St. Joseph is the patron and model of our school. The entire “Family” of St. Joseph’s English Medium School, Sankarakhol – the management, staff, parents / guardians and students must draw inspiration from him. Joseph is an example of faith, righteousness, trust in God’s providence, and prompt obedience to God’s call.
With Jesus and Mary, Joseph is a model of unity, love and shared faith, showing the priority of family life over once individual interest. He shows that one’s dignity does not consist in social, political or economic standing, but in one’s inner integrity in being true to one’s own calling. Joseph teaches us that holiness need not catch the world’s attention. It consists, rather, in being lovingly faithful to the ordinary: family, work, religious observances, the indications of circumstances and God’s revelation.
May St Joseph bless us and guide our paths.
Song to St. Joseph
We thank you O Lord for St. Joseph
In him we see the wonders of your love
You filled him with cares of nature and of grace
To lead your people to their home above
He was a man profoundly human
Open to the signs of the time
Animated by your spirit
A man in love with God
Enable us to be his children
Optimistic lovers of you
Joyful in the service of others
Established in your love
