History

St Brigid, who lived in Ireland in the fifth century, was a woman of great initiative and faith, and her sense of compassion, social justice and generosity were legendary. Similarly, the life and work of the venerable Nano Nagle, the Lady with the Lantern, ignites a passion to challenge the unjust social and political structures that make and keep people poor.

At St Joseph’s College we hope to inspire students to live in the footsteps of Daniel, Brigid and Nano with courage and conviction.
