We believe that ordinary men and women can influence others for good, and we strive to develop a missionary spirit in people just like you every day. One of our primary efforts is encouraging others to become missionaries right alongside us by supporting our good works in a number of ways.
Please share in our apostolic spirit — do more and be more — make a difference in someone’s life today.
Our mission is to preserve the faith in areas and among people who are spiritually neglected and abandoned, especially the poor. Our chief effort is to develop a missionary spirit in the laity.
Our Catholic Congregation of priests and Brothers is in 39 different missions located in the United States, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Mexico. These missions involve staffing parishes where Bishops request our help, usually in inner-city neighborhoods or isolated, rural areas; working with migrant workers, native Americans and indigenous populations, gang members and other vulnerable youth, and with individuals suffering from addictions and their families.
What began in 1929 as a group of mostly Irish-American religious ministering to brothers and sisters in the Deep South of the United States, has transformed into a diverse group comprised of many cultures, speaking multiple languages. And, who now minister to Catholics in six countries.
Our founder, Father Thomas A. Judge (seated at center in picture above,) would be pleased to know his vision has become a reality. Today, our priests and Brothers can be found in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia and Honduras. As was hoped, preserving the faith of the poor and neglected has led us to many different places, peoples and nations.
