St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart Mass

The St. Augustine High School Purple Knights community—students, faculty, and staff—gathered this past Thursday to celebrate Mass in honor of the Society of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart (Josephites). This distinguished religious community of Catholic priests and brothers is devoted to serving the African American community through the proclamation of the Gospel and their personal witness. Their mission is lived out through sacramental, educational, and pastoral ministry, service to those in need, and a steadfast commitment to social justice.

In 1951, the Josephites opened the doors of St. Augustine High School, laying a foundation that would grow into the vibrant and enduring institution we now know as “2600.” Today, we are blessed to be part of a school that truly embodies the Spirit of St. Joseph.

On March 19, 2026, the school community gathered in the Wellness Center to celebrate our patron saint and honor the Josephites whose dedication helped build and shape St. Augustine High School. A special tribute was given to Lawrence Price, SSJ, who celebrated his 90th birthday on January 24 and will mark the 64th anniversary of his final vows this May.

The Eucharistic celebration was presided over by Howard Byrd, SSJ, as celebrant, with Etido Jerome, SSJ, serving as homilist. The Knights of Praise led the congregation in song, uplifting all in attendance. Guest concelebrants included Linus James, SSJ, Chidiebete Dominic, SSJ, and Martin Udofia, SSJ.

It was truly an inspiring and memorable celebration of faith, legacy, and community.
