The Josephites

Most Pure Heart of Mary Church & School is a gospel faith community baptized into the life,

death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We invite all people into a personal relationship

with Christ through prayer, worship, stewardship and service to God and neighbor.

Eucharist is the center of our faith and we celebrate our Catholic African American Heritage.

We empower our youth to be gospel witnesses through faith-building programs.
