Answering the Universal Call to Holiness
Joshua is primarily a Catholic husband and father, but is also an author, editor, speaker, and the Founder of The Immaculata Institute—an organization that continues the mission of St. Maximilian Kolbe in seeking to win the entire universe over to the Immaculata and thus to the Kingdom of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
