On this page we will show details of pupils and teachers who attended St Joseph's in  some capacity or other who have passed away.

Where possible I will try and produce photographs from the early days of the deceased.

There are more to be added. If you have details of anyone else, please contact me and if possible, let me have any photographs that you may have.
