The Society of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph is one of the International Congregations in the Roman Catholic Church. Rev. Fr.

Mathias Wolff, SJ, founded the Society in 1822 in Holland with a view to furthering the cause of women education. In those days of political pressures, social disparities and severe religious prejudices, which the catholic society was encountering Fr. Mathias Wolff was God sent, who with his sharp intellect sensed the need of the time.

Apart from the other social disadvantages, the young Catholic women suffered a major set back due to lack of educational opportunities. In order to meet this demand, Father Mathias Wolff started this society with a few sisters for the service that he cherished. He moulded and trained these sisters towards commitment to this noble cause.

Later, a few more women were drawn to the dedicated work of Mathias Wolff that led to the genesis of the Society of JMJ.
