Story
November 3 marked the 170th anniversary of our presence as Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and Consociates in St. Paul! The province wanted to honor this anniversary especially as it is also the Year of St. Joseph. They celebrated in many ways, including gathering for Mass and via prayer, sharing, treats and a viewing of their Spirit of St. Joseph video (below).
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.
