La historia de la Transfiguración nos invita a dejar atrás las imágenes inadecuadas que tenemos de Dios para descubrir algo nuevo. Libres de nuestras ideas preconcebidas, podemos sorprendernos con los diseños inimaginables de Dios.

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.
