Joseph William Tobin, C.Ss.R. (born May 3, 1952) is an American Cardinal prelate of the Catholic Church. He has been the Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey, since his installation on January 6, 2017. He had served as the Archbishop of Indianapolis since 2012 and as secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSAL) from 2010 to 2012. He has been a cardinal since 19 November 2016.
Tobin was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1952, the oldest of the thirteen children of Joseph W. Tobin and Marie Terese Kerwin. He was baptized five days after his birth at the historic Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, founded and administered by the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (better known as the Redemptorist Fathers). He later attended the parochial school there.
By the time he had graduated, Tobin felt called to serve as a Catholic priest, and applied to the Redemptorists, by whom he was accepted as a candidate. He then attended St. Joseph's Preparatory College in Edgerton, Wisconsin, the Redemptorists' minor seminary. After graduating in 1970, he was received into the novitiate of the Congregation to begin his formation as a member. He made his temporary profession of religious vows as a member of the congregation on August 5, 1972 and his perpetual vows on August 21, 1976.
