History

Our History
The seed that has born so much fruit
The history of our missionary community started with one man, Fr. Thomas Augustine Judge, born to Irish immigrants in 1868 in Boston, Massachusetts. The story of his growing faith and missionary outreach is the seed that has born so much fruit in our order and in the missions we serve

A timeline of sharing God’s love with our neighbor.
