We celebrate the lives and mourn the passing of our sisters who have recently died.
Sister Mary Rose Noonan, CSJ, 70, died on August 12, 2021, at St. Joseph’s Provincial House, Latham, New York. Sister Mary Rose was born in Utica, New York on May 20, 1951, the daughter of Edward H. Noonan, Jr. and Kathryn Dwyer Noonan. She had been a Sister of St. Joseph of Carondelet for 47 years.
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.
