The Order of Preachers is made up of regional provinces throughout the world that carry out the work of evangelization in collaboration with the bishops of the local churches where they serve. The Province of St. Joseph, founded in 1805, is one of four provinces in the United States of America, extending from New England to Virginia to Ohio. Our friars engage in a variety of ministries, including serving as teachers, parish priests, hospital chaplains, itinerant preachers, and campus ministers.
