Joyful Feast of St Joseph, our Patron


Ite Ad Joseph - Go to Joseph
We fondly remembered our patron saint, St Joseph, on His feast day on March 19. The day was indeed a significant day for all at Mount St Joseph as it brought us nearer in spirit to the foster father of Jesus Christ. The community Eucharist early in the day aptly brought out the mood of the day. Speaking on the holy life of St Joseph, Fr Hilario Fernandes during the homily, invited us to ponder deeper on the spirituality of St Joseph. His words left a sweet afterglow in our hearts throughout the day. A day of rest and a good game of volleyball in the evening relaxed us. The community too participated in the games and Fr Henry Saldanha became the star of the occasion who, like in the good old days, played with his cassock on. Although we went about with our normal activities, we did not fail to miss the feeling of joy of belonging to one family and one home, which St Joseph brings to our community every year and we are grateful to him.
