I f it is true that the Blessed Virgin is the

keeper of all heavenly graces, that her love

for the elect is the source of their glory

and happiness, what must be the glory of

St. Joseph whom she was obliged to love

above all the saints, just as a good wife must

love her husband above all men.

Meditate on this.

DUNSTAN PARTNERSHIP Thursday 11th March 2021

Dear Parents, Carers and Parish Community,

As a school we are committed to ensuring that all the pupils in our school will grow even closer to Christ, developing their unique gifts to become well-rounded members of our community. Since 2016 we been part of the Dunstan Partnership and worked together informally to support and develop education for all children in our schools. In June 2019 the Clifton Diocese

launched a strategy which stated that “All schools are to be in a Multi- Academy Trust (MAT) or academy ready by 2021 with academy ready meaning the point at which schools have completed sufficient preparation (informal due diligence) to enable/facilitate formal commitment to the academy process when appropriate”. Our governing body has been working together and with; the Diocese and the Regional Schools Commissioner’s team to carry out a review of all our schools to identify the areas

of strength and development opportunities within our group. The following schools have made a commitment to work on this together: Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School – Weston-super-Mare

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School – Wincanton St Gildas Catholic Primary School – Yeovil St Joseph’s and St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School – Wells

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School – Bridgwater St Joseph’s Catholic Primary and Nursery School – Burnham on Sea. We have collectively decided to explore how we can work together more formally with the core purpose of ensuring that all

the pupils in our schools receive high quality education. Over the coming months we will investigate what a more formalised partnership will look like in relation to Vision and Ethos, school improvement, leadership, finance and governance. We plan that in time we will be able to make an informed decision about the benefits and challenges of moving closer to forming a Multi

Academy Trust with other Catholic schools. Dunstan Partnership We will continue to communicate with you and consult with you to gather your views and questions to support the work that we will be carrying out. This is an exciting opportunity and one that could bring many positive benefits for our schools, pupils and staff.

Thank you for your continued support. Yours sincerely,

Peter Townsend Chair of Governors Teresa Harvey Headteacher

Ad te, beate

Ioseph

To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our

afflictions, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke your patronage also.

Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the

paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us

in our necessities. O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family,

defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; O our most mighty

protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness.

As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield,

too, each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness,

and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.

The Year of Saint Joseph

The Memorare to St Joseph

Remember, O most pure spouse of the

Blessed Virgin Mary, my great protector, Saint Joseph, that no one ever had

recourse to your protection, or implored

your aid without obtaining relief. Confiding therefore in your goodness, I come before you. Do not turn down my petitions, foster

father of the Redeemer, but graciously receive them. Amen.

The Morning Offering

through St Joseph

Receive me, dear and chosen Father, and the offering of every

movement of my body and soul, which I desire to present through thee to my blessed Lord.

Purify all! Make all a perfect holocaust! May every pulsation of my heart be a Spiritual Communion, every look and thought an act of love, every action a sweet sacrifice,

every word an arrow of Divine love, every step an advance toward Jesus, every visit to Our Lord as

pleasing to God as the errands of Angels, every thought

of thee, dear Saint, an act to remind thee that I am thy child.

I recommend to thee the occasions in which I usually fail,

particularly . . . [Mention these]. Accept each little devotion of the day, though replete with imperfection, and offer it

to Jesus, Whose mercy will overlook all, since He

regards not so much the gift as the love of the giver.

Amen.

Prayer before work

to St Joseph the worker O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who

are devoted to labour, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work

conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honour to

employ and develop by means of labour the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, never shrinking from weariness and trials; to work above all with

purity of intention and detachment from self, keeping unceasingly before my eyes death and the account that I must give of time lost, talents

unused, good omitted, and vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God.

All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch, Saint Joseph. Such shall be my watch-word in life and in death. Amen.

(Composed by Pope St. Pius X)

℣. He made him the lord of His household, ℟. And prince over all His possessions.

Let Us Pray O God, Who in Thine ineffable Providence didst vouch-

safe to choose Blessed Joseph to be the spouse of Thy most holy Mother, grant, we beseech Thee, that he whom we venerate as our protector on earth may be

our intercessor in Heaven. Who lives and reigns forever and ever.

Amen.

Consecration to St Joseph O dearest St Joseph, I consecrate myself to

thy honour and give myself to thee, that thou mayest always be my father, my protector, and my guide in the way of salvation.

Obtain for me a great purity of heart and a fervent love of the interior life. After thine example, may I do all my actions for the

greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

And do thou, O Blessed St. Joseph, pray for me that I may share in the peace and joy of thy holy death

Amen.

A Triduo to St Joseph

by St John Henry Newman First day: Consider. He was the true and worthy Spouse of Mary,

supplying in a visible manner the place of Mary’s Invisible Spouse, the Holy Ghost. He was a virgin, and his virginity was the faithful mirror of the virginity of Mary. He was the Cherub, placed to guard the new

terrestrial Paradise from the intrusion of every foe. ℣. Blessed be the name of Joseph.

℟. Henceforth and forever. Amen. Let us pray. God, who in Thine ineffable Providence didst vouchsafe to choose

Blessed Joseph to be the husband of Thy most holy Mother, grant, we beseech Thee, that we may be made worthy to receive him for our intercessor in heaven, whom on earth we venerate as our holy

Protector: who livest and reignest world without end. Amen. Second day: Consider. His was the title of father of the Son of God,

because he was the Spouse of Mary, ever Virgin. He was our Lord’s father, because Jesus ever yielded to him the obedience of a son. He was our Lord’s father, because to him were entrusted, and by him

were faithfully fulfilled, the duties of a father, in protecting Him, giving Him a home, sustaining and rearing Him, and providing Him with a trade.

℣. Blessed be the name of Joseph. ℟. Henceforth and forever. Amen.

Let us pray. {prayer as on the First Day}

Third day: Consider. He is Holy Joseph, because according to the opinion of a great number of doctors, he, as well as St. John the Baptist, was sanctified even before he was born. He is Holy Joseph, because his office, of being spouse and protector of Mary, specially

demanded sanctity. He is Holy Joseph, because no other Saint but he lived in such and so long intimacy and familiarity with the source of all holiness, Jesus, God incarnate, and Mary, the holiest of creatures.

℣. Blessed be the name of Joseph. ℟. Henceforth and forever. Amen.

Let us pray. {prayer as on the First Day}
