Spirituality helps us become more loving of the world. Cultivating our spiritual life through the arts, ritual, food, stories, community, service, meditation, and other forms of prayer opens our spirits so that we can more lovingly embrace our Creator, ourselves, other people, and the sacredness of all creation.
"Always moving toward the profound love of God and neighbor without distinction..."
(Sisters of St. Joseph Consensus Statement)
 The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and Consociates commit to continuing Jesus' mission in the world by responding to the needs of our time. In the spirit of the Gospel, we work toward right relationships with God, persons, and Earth. We strive to foster the common good through advocacy, creative arts, education, healthcare, social service, and spirituality.
