Sister Eileen McCann, CSJ was received into the congregation in 1968. A member of our Albany Province, she currently serves as the Congregational Vocation Promoter. In this ministry, she finds many ways to connect with younger women and encourage them to consider a vocation to religious life.
The Spirit was very present at the SEEK 2025 Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, which Joann Heinritz and I attended at the beginning of January.
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.
