Faith
Saint Josephs was founded in 1886 by the Sisters of St. Dominic on property purchased from the estate of millionaire Thomas Hunt Talmadge. Through vision and sacrifice, the Sisters developed a community that included a convent, chapel, school, guest house, sanitarium, boys and girls camps, post office, and a working farm. For forty years, the estate house served as the summer home of Cardinal Hayes.
