Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet

Caring. Bold. Joyful. Relevant. Fearless. Fun.

These are just a few words that have been used to describe the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Louis Province. We are community of Roman Catholic women religious who dedicate our lives to bringing Jesus' mission of love and unity to all people by responding to the needs of the world. We live, pray and act to help individuals feel heard, nurtured and loved.

If you sum up Jesus' mission in one sentence, you might say "all are welcome at the table." You can't be in right relationship with someone if they are on the "outside." For the Sisters of St. Joseph, "serving the dear neighbor without distinction" means that everyone gets a seat at the table. That's what unifying love is all about. This is the gospel call at the heart of our community life, our spirituality and our work for social justice and the common good.

Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet are known by the initials, CSJ, referring to the Congregation of St. Joseph. Today, we also see the core of who we together are in these letters: Community, Spirituality and Justice. We invite you to explore our site to see how we live our legacy of community, spirituality in justice in today's world.

Our sisters and associates serve in more than 13 states and Peru.
