1892 St. Joseph's Union / Orphanage New York City Membership Card

Description: 1892 St. Joseph's Union / Orphanage New York City Membership Card.St. Joseph’s Home for Neglected Children, which was founded in the 1870s by Father John Drumgoole. The ad for St. Joseph’s Union encouraged donations to the organization that supported the home.John C Drumgoole (1816-1888) immigrated from County Longford, Ireland, in 1825 to join his mother in America after his father’s death, and took work as a shoemaker when he became of age. He became the sexton and janitor of St. Mary’s parish in Manhattan’s Lower east Side in 1844, the third oldest NYC parish, and took a special interest in the thousands of homeless and orphaned children wandering the streets after coming to America in the aftermath of Ireland’s potato famine of the 1840s, or were left parentless during the Civil War. He provided food and shelter to these destitute youth in the basement of St. Ann’s for 21 years.Drumgoole had always aspired to the Catholic priesthood and after attending St. John’s College in the Bronx, now Fordham University and the Seminary of Our Lady of Angels near Niagara Falls, he was ordained at age 53 in 1870. He continued to help homeless children in the succeeding years.Measures 4 3/4 x 3 inches. Good condition
