Growing Community Roots
Our sisters and consociates founded Growing Community Roots, a nonprofit that raises funds for water catchment systems, sanitation facilities, community gardens and tree farms for schools in West Kenya.
There are many ways to share community with us. Here are stories of how and why some people have joined us in our mission and charism as lay associates.

A full-circle moment was born when two nonprofits founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Border Compassion and the Los Angeles House of Ruth, came together to help a family in need.
As a St. Joseph Worker, Rosie Schlidt is a case manager at Homeboy Industries, where her clients teach her about unbridled joy and individuality.
As a member of the CSJ Associate Formation Team, I offered this reflection to our associate candidates to nurture their journeys and deepen their connections to this charism that is already alive and active in their lives.

Over the last year, the `ohana, our lay associates in Hawai`i, have been celebrating their 35th anniversary of association with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in Hawai`i.
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.
