Softening Our Hearts
Lent has a way of bringing us face to face with the “Great If.” There is a choice we make every Lent. A choice to hear the voice of God – or not.
Sister Mary Flick was received into the congregation in 2010. A member of the St. Louis Province, she serves as formation coordinator for St. Joseph Educational Ministries, working with its members to ensure the Catholic identity and values of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet at the province’s six educational institutions. Sister Mary also serves as the St. Louis Province’s justice coordinator and as a spiritual director.

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.
