Brothers and faculty

The school has been served by many Irish Christian Brothers over the years. One of the last of them to serve in India, Br. Brendan MacCarthaigh, played an integral part in St. Joseph's in particular, and the Christian Brothers schools in India in general since his arrival in India in 1960. His stay of service in the country, however, was truncated to 62 years in 2022 due to visa issues. He has been inducted into The Telegraph Education Foundation's Hall of Fame in 2016.
