Five sisters from three of the provinces of the Congregation were sent to war torn Gulu, Uganda in June 2008 to serve the Acholi people. Three sisters from the St. Louis Province are currently serving there in education and healthcare ministries. To learn more about the Uganda Project read their blog csjgulu.blogspot.com


The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet have been in the United States since 1836 and are one with all Sisters of Saint Joseph who claim a common origin in the foundation of our order at LePuy, France, in 1650. The congregation is comprised of more than 1600 vowed sisters and more than 500 other women and men who share the sisters’ mission called associates, consociates, ohana and familia de San José.
