ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE OBA UK
On 2nd March 2021 St. Joseph’s College celebrated 125 years. Tracing the College’s origins and proud achievements, there isn’t time to track 117 years of evolution, stemming from a seed sown by the then Archbishop of Colombo Rt. Rev. Dr. Christopher Bonjean in 1892 the idea of a Catholic College. Unfortunately the Most Rev. Fr. Bonjean did not live through to see his vision come alive. But the good work was carried out by Rev. Fr. Charles Collin and Rev. Fr. Charles Lyntten, both who went on to be Rectors of the College.
Vision
‘WE GATHER PEACE & POWER.’ Build up and maintain unity among all Josephians and others within the UK and globally. Once a Josephian, no matter who we are, where we are, and what we do, we are true Josephians and Joes for Life.
Mission
‘Create links to communicate with Old Joes Associations around the world and lead from the front. We are keen to organise many activities and as you may appreciate, your support is valuable to us to make it a success. If you know any Josephians, young, old, or middle-aged, what really matters is Josephians who are ‘young at heart’, please inform them of the Association and encourage them to join.
