- September 4, 2020 Mission Advancement
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet have always responded to the needs of the times. This year's Fall FUNdrive focuses on four projects that are critical to sisters doing MORE and meeting the needs of the world today.

Meet Team Relevance
Team Captain: Sister Helen Flemington
The majority of religious congregations founded around the same period as the CSJs no longer exist.
WHY? Because we always try to read the signs of the times. We know we must stay relevant in the world we are challenged to serve.
The computer is a way to find common ground and in the process share God and help many find purpose in their lives. With your help, we can enhance our relevance in these times.
Donating to this team will provide:
- a new server
- laptops for the many sisters without them
- laptops with cameras so all sisters can gather in zoom meetings
- software for sisters who are visually impaired
- classes on social media
Little known fact: most newer vowed members of our province learned about us through social media.
