Our Source of Inspiration
Our Source of Inspiration
Josephine’s Clinic, Inc. derives its name from Saint Josephine Bakhita, the patron saint of victims of slavery. Born in Darfur, Sudan in 1869, she had an uncle who was a tribal chief of the Daju people. In 1877, however, Josephine was kidnapped by Arab slave traders.
In the years following her captivity and enslavement, she was bought, sold, and given away numerous times. This went on for so long a time that she forgot her original name. Eventually, one of her owners placed her in the care of the Canossian Sisters in Venice, Italy.
There she remained until she took her final vows as a Canossian Daughter of Charity. As such, she traveled to various convents recounting her story and preparing other sisters for work in Africa.
At the time of her canonization in 2000, Pope John Paul II pointed out Saint Josephine as a shining advocate of genuine emancipation. Read the full statement quoted by His Eminence at “Modern Day Slavery and Human Trafficking” (2012). For more about, St. Josephine, read her story here.
