About the St. Joseph Foundation

The Saint Joseph Foundation serves Catholics who seek to know and vindicate their rights within the Church - rights that the Church herself recognizes and protects. Whenever individuals or groups believe their rights are threatened or have been violated, the Foundation assists them in using the means established by the Church to obtain remedies.




The Saint Joseph Foundation is an Association of the Christian Faithful established under canon 215 of the Code of Canon Law of the Catholic Church. It is a non-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas. An Association of the Christian Faithful may exist either with or without ecclesiastical recognition. To preserve its independence and objectivity in advising Catholics of their rights within the Church, the Foundation has chosen not to seek ecclesiastical recognition. The opinions expressed on this web site are those of the individual writers, all of whom are Catholics in good standing who strive to conform to the teaching and laws of the Church. The Saint Joseph Foundation does not speak in the name of the Church.
