St Josephs College, Bangalore was established in the year 1882, St Josephs College, Bangalore is affiliated to Bangalore University, Bangalore. The need for instituting a College of this magnitude in Bangalore was felt by the catholic Missionaries and it was the vicar apostolic of the coramandel coast, the Rev. Dr. Bonnand, who propounded the idea, in 1841, in a letter to Rev. Fr. Bertrand. Complying with the order, the Foreign Missions Society of Paris bought a plot of land on St. John's Hill and gradually made the transition to the location it occupies today.
Vision
The Patron of our College and model for our students is St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus. True to his life, St. Joseph is called a just man. He was a person of faith in God and in other fellow human beings.
Mission
"Fide et Labore", which means faith and toil, reflects the life and spirit of St. Joseph who was a carpenter by profession and the protector of the Holy Family.
Therefore, it is right that he is our patron. We want him to protect, guide and inspire us into a life of hard work, toil and faith.
