Josephites

Josephites are members of the Society of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart, a Catholic religious community founded in 1936. They focus on serving African Americans and other underserved communities, particularly through ministries like education, pastoral care, and social services. Their mission emphasizes promoting racial justice and empowering marginalized groups within the Church and society. Committed to living the Gospel, Josephites work in various settings across the United States, especially in the South, where historical and ongoing racial disparities highlight the importance of their community’s dedicated service.
