Our Mission

A mission of love.

Sister Maureen Freeman and Jo Ann Geary serve at the border.

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet's mission of unifying love is as relevant now, if not more so, than it was to the women who founded our congregation. As the world changes and the problems grow complex, the answer remains simple: live in profound love of God and neighbor without distinction.

Our mission statement

We live out this mission today by forming loving relationships with ourselves, with God, within community, Church, society and all creation. We work toward this mission through the ministries of prayer, direct service, consciousness raising and systemic change.
