The fathers of St. Joseph is a confraternity of men who follow the timeless wisdom and example of the man who was father to the Son and son of the Father. With St. Joseph as our leader, each father strives to become as he became – an icon of God the Father.

As God the Father entrusted His Son to St. Joseph’s care, we also strive to entrust ourselves as children, who are fathers, to this father who will teach us to father, and lead us to the Father. This way of fatherhood is called Joseph’s Way – The Call to Fatherly Greatness. Join us on this journey to discover the power of authentic fatherhood.

The sole aim and purpose of The Fathers of St. Joseph is to labor for the restoration, revitalization and redemption of human fatherhood, in order that it may become what it has been created to be: an efficacious icon that directs the human family to its Father.

1. To discover the timeless sanctity of the vocation of fatherhood.
2. To be taught and to teach the meaning of authentic fatherhood.
3. To supply for the spiritual, familial or financial needs of our fellow fathers.
4. To learn how to become an authentic father by becoming children of the Father. To become leaders who serve by following the Servant and Master Who leads.
5. To immerse ourselves in the timeless wisdom, fatherly example and person of St. Joseph, the son of the Father and father of the Son.
6. To learn how to encourage and edify our families in their pursuit of personal sanctity.
7. To learn how to honor and cherish the dignity of our wives and all women by overcoming lust by means of receiving the redemptive power of Christ.

The Fathers of St. Joseph is not merely a gathering of fathers who attempt to be spiritual, but rather of fathers who profess and strive to live St. Joseph’s own spirituality. This spirituality is founded upon the understanding and fulfillment of man’s theological location and vocation. The human father has a distinct, divinely ordained position within the cosmos, and it from this position that man’s mission, his vocation–which consists of the four pillars: embracing silence, embracing woman, embracing the child and embracing charitable authority–is fulfilled.
