Background

Officially called St. Joseph's Society of the Sacred Heart, a community of priests founded in Mill Hill, England, 1866. In 1871, four Mill Hill Fathers came to the United States to work with freed slaves; in 1893 the American community separated from the English and the two flourished independently.
