Father Joe Carroll A Humble Hero's Life Stories

Father Joe (1941-2021)

Reverend Monsignor Joseph Carroll, affectionately known as Father Joe to most people, passed away on July 10, 2021. A humble hero, he helped millions of neighbors in need experiencing homelessness and poverty have access to meals, housing, education, job training, medical care, and more.

Father Joe: Life Stories of a Hustler Priest is his official authorized memoir that shares the humor, heartache, and heart of a man who did his best to fulfill God’s call on his life in service to others. This book reveals how one humble man hustled to help transform lives one meal at a time, one bed at a time — one compassionate decision at a time.
