Sally Budge is the assistant archivist for the Sisters of St. Joseph Consolidated Archives in St. Louis. She completed her master’s degree in library and information science in December 2021 and joined the archives in August 2022. Before going back to school, she stayed home to raise her four children, three of whom have “left the nest.” Volunteering in her children’s school libraries led her to pursue her degree. In her free time, Sally loves to read, hike, sew and play board games with her family. She also keeps busy volunteering with the local women’s group in her church congregation.

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.
