                        Patron Saint - St Joseph

                        The Christian Brothers selected the name 'Joseph' for the College quite deliberately.  Joseph's example of love and humility serves as inspiration to the Terrace Family.  

                        St Joseph is often referred to as the “humble carpenter”. This is a reminder that he was a real person, with real opportunities and struggles, but something extraordinary happened to him. Joseph was asked to be the foster-father of Jesus and the husband of Mary.  This was a great responsibility - raising a child who was not his own and who is the Son of God.

                        St Joseph is the silent figure of the three persons in the Holy Family. However, how he responded to the call of God, proves that St Joseph, after Jesus himself, is the greatest man to imitate in our daily lives because it is what he did, not what he said, that makes him a Holy man.

                        St Joseph followed the path of humility, the path of strength and gentleness, the path of faith and courage, a path of love.

                        Each year on 19 March, we pause and gather as a Terrace Family to celebrate the Feast of St Joseph, Patron Saint of our College, who keeps watch over us as our protector.

                        In the spirit of reconciliation, we, as members of the Terrace Family, acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of our Nation. We acknowledge, respect and give gratitude to the Traditional Owners of the Countries on which our campuses are located. We pay our respects to Ancestors, Elders, and leaders of the future as well as to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our Terrace Family. We value the knowledge of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and recognise and honour their stories, cultures, and achievements as we walk together for mutual liberation and a truth-telling history for all Australians. Inspired by the Edmund Rice Education Touchstones, we are called to be people of knowledge, humility and wisdom who walk in solidarity with the First Peoples of our Nation for reconciliation, justice, equity and healing.
