St Joseph’s Marks 100 Years of Service and Support

In 1924, St Joseph’s was founded by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul in Rosewell near Edinburgh. Since 2015 it has become an independent charity and limited company with a dedicated team of over 250 people. St Joseph’s exists to support adults with a learning disability live independent lives as active citizens of their local community with choice and control over all aspects of their lives. 2024 marks the centenary of this special service with a year of celebrations – the three biggest of these being: A special Mass on 19^th March, the Feast of St Joseph; a celebratory gathering for 300 people on 25^th May at the 02 arena in Edinburgh which included a special centenary film, speeches, meal and dancing. Our photos show Sr Ellen, Provincial of the Daughters of Charity with Rob Jahoda CEO making a formal speech of recognition and thanks. There will also be a special Garden Fete on 27^th July in the grounds of St Mathew’s RC Church, Rosewell.
