The Sisters of St. Joseph formed in France in the 1600s. The Sisters are a community whose mission is to realize the prayer of Christ: that all may be one with God and with one another. The Sisters are united in a special focus: to work for unity where there is brokenness and to help people become whole and holy, individually and together.
In 2023, the Sisters of St. Joseph celebrate 150 years in Boston, 1873-2023.
