the Launch of The Josephology Society<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A New Era of Josephological Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

OCTOBER 13, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Josephology Society has been a vision I\u2019ve carried in my heart for over a decade,\u201d said
Rev. Edward Looney, STL, the Founder of the Josephology Society and a priest of the Diocese of Green Bay in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a dedicated team of 16 charter members \u2013 including well-known scholars like Dr. Scott
Hahn, Mike Aquilina, and honorary advisors Fr. Larry Toschi, OSJ, MTh, MDiv, MSTM and Very Rev. Donald H. Calloway, MIC, MDiv, STB, STL \u2013 the dream of this new academic society is to bring together scholars, theologians, clergy, consecrated religious, and laity from around the world who are passionate about promoting the study of Saint Joseph and fostering a deeper appreciation for the loving father of Jesus and the chaste husband of Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI felt the time was right to bring this idea to life,\u201d said Fr. Looney, author, social media evangelist, and current Secretariat (and past President) of the Mariological Society of America. \u201cAs a Marian theologian, I see Josephology as closely related to Mariology. By studying Joseph, we naturally find ourselves drawn to Jesus and Mary but with new and profound insights. Christology and Mariology complement Josephology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

October 13 was chosen as the official launch date for The Josephology Society (TJS) because Joseph also appeared with Mary at Fatima, Portugal on this date in 1917, witnessed by many thousands, holding the Christ Child and blessing the world at the renowned \u201cMiracle of the Sun\u201d as a profound reminder of the importance of family and fatherhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its first Josephology Symposium slated for May 1, 2025 and a call for paper abstracts to be submitted for its Josephology Studies publication by January 6, 2025, TJS is cordially inviting all Josephologist scholars, devotees, and students worldwide to join this new Society for their intellectual and spiritual enrichment and to contribute to the advancement of Josephology in Christian history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
