St. Joseph Children's Home

St. Joseph Children’s Home was first established as the “St. Joseph Catholic Orphans Society” in 1849 by twelve local German-American Catholic parishes wishing to care for orphans. St. Joe’s has evolved over the years to become a multifaceted, nonprofit child caring facility licensed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky with the mission of "Giving Children a Home." St. Joe’s is no longer home to “orphans” but rather, children who have been removed from their homes because they have experienced severe abuse and neglect. St. Joe’s has consistently adapted to the needs of the community and now serves approximately 350 children annually across three core programs: Residential Treatment Program, Therapeutic Foster Care and Adoption Program, and the Child Development Center. St. Joe’s serves children in all counties of Kentucky, regardless of nationality, sexual orientation, race, or creed. We will not quit until every child has a family! Learn more at www.sjkids.org.
