ABOUT THE JOSEPHITES

In 1871, Cardinal Herbert Vaughn and four other missionaries were commissioned to come to America and serve the newly freed slaves. Thus began the Society of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart or The Josephites.

The Josephite Priests are Brothers are a society of men who are dedicated to the spiritual and temporal needs of the African-American community.

The Society of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart is the only congregation in the U.S. Catholic Church whose exclusive mission is to the African-American Community.

Today, the society serves in parishes, schools and special ministries throughout the United States.
