Meet Team Ministry

Team Captain: Sister Clare Bass

The very essence of religious life is the willingness to take risks.

The word “radical” comes from the word “radish” being “rooted.”

Sisters of St. Joseph lives are rooted in the Gospel – in Jesus Christ – Himself a radical.

Like Jesus, we are risk takers, standing on the side of justice. We are a voice for the voiceless. We go where others will not go. We revere this beautiful world God has given us to steward.

We minister TO and with ALL.

Together, with your help, we can be MORE, do MORE and help MORE, because together…we are MORE.
