For the safety of all our Board of Management has decided to keep St Joseph's closed tomorrow, Wednesday 8th January. Wishing you all well and stay safe.

After consultation with our Board of Management & in the continued safety of all, St Joseph's will remain closed tomorrow, Tues 7th.

Our Board of Management has made the timely decision to remain closed tomorrow, Monday 6th. We will assess the situation again tomorrow. Please stay safe and spread the word that St.Joseph's will remain closed tomorrow.
