PRESIDENT EMERITUS FATHER JOE CARROLL
Born in the Bronx, Father Joe came to San Diego at age 22 with only $50. He was ordained in 1974, and in 1982 Bishop Leo T. Maher asked him to lead St. Vincent de Paul Center. Father Joe was instrumental in building our “one stop shop” approach. His legacy continues today at our 4-block campus in the East Village of downtown San Diego.
