In the Christian liturgical tradition, Holy Saturday, the day between our commemoration of Jesus’ death and the celebration of his resurrection, is a day of emptiness, of great silence. We enter into that silence through our time of prayer which includes a short reading, two 25-minute sitting meditations, and walking meditation.
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.
