Our Shepherds

We are blessed to have pastors that have
guided our church community.

Since St. Joseph of the Holy Family was founded in 1860 we have been graced with pastors that have impacted our parishioners, church, and our New York City community. Each serve in their own unique way and
we are grateful to pay tribute to them here. Included are their years of service at St. Joseph’s.
