Who we are and how we minister are grounded in the Gospel, prayer and our community. These are the most recent reflections from some of our sisters, associates and partners.

Journeying into the “Church of the Wild”

In a book club comprised of sisters and charism partners, Sister Diane Smith, CSJ reads books that enrich her spirituality and challenge her to the more. Recently, her book club finished Victoria Loorz’s “Church of the Wild: How Nature Invites Us into the Sacred.”

It’s not over ’til it’s over

There is an expression: “It’s not over ‘til it’s over!” Some might say that religious life has ended. It’s over. … I think not. Why not? We are called to reflect more deeply on what all of this means.

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.
