Actually there are three groups who can legitimately be called Josephites:
1) The Josephite Fathers and Brothers or, more properly, Saint Joseph's Society of the Sacred Heart, Inc.(abbreviated post-nominally as S.S.J.) are an American society of Catholic priests and brothers, founded in 1893. It was formed in 1871 by a group of priests from the English Foreign Mission Society of Saint Joseph, also known as the Mill Hill Fathers. They decided to establish a mission society in the United States dedicated to newly freed people after the American Civil War.
2) The Josephites or "Sons of St. Joseph" are a Roman Catholic religious order. Their primary apostolate is the education of youth. It was founded in the Diocese of Ghent, Belgium by Canon Constant van Crombrugghe. Members of the congregation use the initials "C.J." after their names.
3) Josephites" (Russian: Иосифляне) so-called after the name of the Metropolitan Joseph (Ivan Petrovykh) of Petrograd - leader of resistance of the True Orthodox Church in 1927-1937. This group is largely defunct.
