Josephite Order

The Josephite Order is a Catholic religious community founded in the 19th century to serve and support African Americans, especially in the United States. Their mission focuses on providing education, spiritual guidance, and social services to uplift marginalized communities. Members typically take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, dedicating their lives to helping others through pastoral work, schools, and outreach programs. The order emphasizes dignity, respect, and the importance of faith in promoting social justice and racial reconciliation within the church and society.
