Who We Are
The Brothers of St. Joseph is the oldest local a congregation founded in 1945 by Very Rev. Br. Stephen Wamgogo as Charismatic Founder and Very Rev. Fr. Joseph Michael Witte Cs.Sp, a Dutch priest as Jurical Founder. This was during the 2nd World war and the Italian Consolata Fathers evangelizing Nyeri, Kenya. They were citizens of a country that was at war with Great Britain and were captured and transported to South Africa where they were interned in camps as prisoners of war.
VISION
We aspire to live an authentic and dedicated brotherhood among ourselves and in our apostolates, deeply rooted in our charism of humble service to humanity, guided by the quiet strength, faithfulness, and example of St. Joseph, our patron and model of selfless love.
MISSION STATEMENT
We actively participate in the mission of the Church by providing catechetical formation, Catholic education, pastoral care, social outreach, and other apostolates according to the needs of the Church, especially care for the poor and marginalized, striving to share Christ’s love and help build a just and compassionate society that reflects the Kingdom of God on earth.
Formation
The Consolata Fathers took the initial formation of the Brothers who were accommodated in the minor seminary under the authority of Father Umberto Bessone as their first superior and formator.
