There is no “away”

When I was invited to write a reflection about ecological conversion, I immediately Sister Ida Robertine Berresheim came to mind. I distinctly remember a talk she gave in Los Angeles decades ago, where she opened my eyes to the reality that there is no “away” to which we throw things.

A visit to Perú

From December 28 through January 20, I had an incredible opportunity to visit the Sisters of St. Joseph in Peru. As the congregation’s communication director, it helped me to get to know the Peruvian sisters better.

About us

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.
