The Maxims of the Little Institute, written by Jean Pierre Médaille, SJ for the first Sisters of St. Joseph in the 1600s, are 100 short sayings to help the sisters grow in virtue. Here, a group of our sisters work on translating the maxims in 1959 at Little Flower Convent in Chicago.

About us

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet are a congregation of Catholic sisters. We, and those who share our charism and mission, are motivated in all things by our profound love of God and our dear neighbors. We seek to build communities and bridge divides between people. Since our first sisters gathered in 1650, our members have been called to “do all things of which women are capable.” The first sisters of our congregation arrived in St. Louis, Missouri in 1836, and we now have additional locations in St. Paul, Albany, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Japan and Peru. Today, we commit to respond boldly to injustice and dare to be prophetic.
