A visit to Perú
From December 28 through January 20, I had an incredible opportunity to visit the Sisters of St. Joseph in Peru. As the congregation’s communication director, it helped me to get to know the Peruvian sisters better.
New community founded in Pachacutec
In February 2024, two of our sisters began a new mission in this pueblo joven or “young town,” a newer settlement in the dusty Andean foothills outside of Lima.
Nine days of prayer for a more inclusive church
Our congregation will be praying this nine-part Womanly Novena over the nine days leading up to the start of the synod on October 4.
An Unchanging Charism in a Changing World
The Sisters of St. Joseph have gone through many organizational changes since our founding in 1650, while never wavering from our mission and charism. Today, guided by the Spirit, our congregation continues to discern the best way to govern ourselves.
The Congregation Confronts Racism
As police shootings and immigration policies have shined a spotlight on racism in the United States recently, our congregation has made confronting and dismantling racism a priority. While we advocate for change in our society and work to examine our personal biases, we have also been grappling with our own congregational history.
