A place where all are welcome
Although the motherhouse is one of the oldest buildings in St. Louis, it is a modern facility equipped to meet the needs of God’s people.
This ever-evolving building has been a spiritual home to generations of novices who completed initial formation, lived in community, and trained for ministry. Some of our sisters still reside here today!
The motherhouse is also home to the St. Louis province administration offices, and is thought of as the “North American home” to Sisters of St. Joseph as it was from our Carondelet/St. Louis location that the Sisters of St. Joseph spread throughout the United States and Canada.
Are you ready to see history come alive?
We openly invite guests of all faiths to enjoy the beauty and sacredness the Carondelet Motherhouse has to offer. The motherhouse serves sisters, associates, sponsored institutions, non-profit organizations and tour guests, so you can meet, socialize, worship and pray, or just relax and reflect.
