Pledge 175 minutes in honor of the sisters' 175th anniversary!
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet have been serving a world in need for 175 years. This has not been done alone but with the prayers, generosity and commitment of you, our friends and supporters.
In honor of our 175th anniversary of our arrival in America, we invite you to join us in our mission of serving the dear neighbor and pledge 175 minutes of service. The type of service is up to you--help a neighbor, volunteer at a local organization, join projects at your own parish--wherever you feel called to lend a helping hand.
Need some suggestions? Click here for a list compiled by the Sisters of St. Joseph of some organizations in Missouri that are looking for volunteers.
We will track our progress and report updates here on this page, as well as post comments from some of our participants.
