Associate Commitments

On Saturday, May 5, Darby Gough made her CSJ association initial commitment, accompanied by her mentor, Sister Rose McLarney, CSJ (back) and Association Director Peggy Maguire (front). During the ceremony, held in Holy Family Chapel at the South St. Louis motherhouse, six people made their initial commitments and 14 people made ongoing commitments. Visit the event photo gallery.

In her commitment statement, Gough says, "I have been surrounded by the spirit of gentleness, pace and joy and will carry this throughout life and hope to share this with others. I am thankful for the openness I have received and look forward to leading by example to those around me."Read the initial commitment statements of all six incoming associates.

There are more than 260 CSJ associates in the St. Louis province--men and women who commit to extending the mission and sharing the spirit of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet without becoming vowed members. Learn more about the associate program.
