Edition 43 | 17th March 2021

This week we celebrate the feast days of Saint Patrick and Saint Joseph. While Saint Patrick’s Day is well known as a day of celebration in remembrance of the patron saint of Ireland, the feast day of Saint Joseph follows closely on Friday, March 19th. In December last year, Pope Francis announced a Year of Saint Joseph, to honor the 150th anniversary of the saint’s patronage over the Universal Church. Pope Francis said he was establishing the year so that “every member of the faithful, following Saint Joseph’s example, may strengthen their life of faith daily in the complete fulfillment of God’s will.” 

As this edition of The Soul continues to focus on Lent and the lives of the Saints, we explore the theme of accompaniment and how it relates to our vocation as teachers.
