Option for the Poor
‘The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need, those who have nothing apart from their poverty!’ Pope Francis, July 26, 2013
A preferential option for the poor means that we think first about the needs of those who are the most vulnerable. Jesus taught that when we feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, look after the sick and visit those imprisoned, we are looking after Him.
Ways we show Option for the Poor at St. Joseph's:
Early help and support
Affordable uniform through the PTFA
Book giveaways
Gifts at Christmas
Pupil premium support
Food hampers
Access to pastoral and SEND support
LAC priority on admissions
