Welcome to the Community of Joseph!
Our Contemplative Community meets each week to engage in contemplative practice/meditation in support of the vocation of organizational leadership.

All faith and wisdom traditions are welcome. We meet at 7:00pm on Tuesdays in the St. Francis Chapel located in the left rear corner of the Mission Church at Santa Clara University. (The Chapel has a separate outside entrance).

The first hour is devoted to readings from different religious, wisdom traditions, followed by silent prayer and meditation/contemplative practice. In the second hour we engage in religious chant and hold in prayer the struggles of organizational leaders. In the third hour sometimes the Christian Eucharist is celebrated.

Guests are welcome to attend a single hour, or participate in all three hours.

To obtain the "Readings" from different traditions used in the last weeks gathering, select Readings.

The Community of Joseph exists to...
  • Affirm leaders in their spiritual calling
  • Help each leader to recognize and come to a deeper appreciation of her/his varied and complementary gifts brought to this vocation
  • Share contemplative practice and spiritual companionship to deepen the leader’s vocational journey
  • Hold in contemplative prayer others called to the challenging role of organizational leadership
