Remember when you were about 10 years old and school ended for the summer? Remember that delicious sense of the days stretching before you with no set routine and lots of time to be outside? There was time to play with friends and visit with family, opportunities to make up new games and participate in old, familiar ones as well, to spend hours reading whatever you chose rather than what was assigned.
As the church prepares for the next stage of the synod, we invite you to pray with us a womanly novena, each month for nine months, for a more inclusive church.
José soñó. Lo que sabemos de él nos dice que era un hombre sencillo, un hombre pobre en un país ocupado y controlado por un ejército extranjero.
Joseph dreamed. What we know of him tells us that he was a simple man, a poor man in a country occupied and controlled by a foreign army. He had little reason to dream, yet he had dreams for himself and for his family.
Mientras la Iglesia se prepara para la próxima etapa del Sínodo, te invitamos a rezar con nosotros una novena femenina, cada mes durante nueve meses, por una Iglesia más inclusiva.

Pero, encontrarme ya en el umbral de otro año, tengo la oportunidad de dar una mirada atrás y otra hacia el futuro. Deseo pensar en lo que quiero dejar atrás y en lo que quiero llevar al futuro.
Standing here, on the threshold of another year, gives me the opportunity to look both back at the past and forward to the future. I like to think about what I want to leave behind and what I want to carry into the future.
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.
