Congregation of St. Joseph
Biography
The Congregation of St. Joseph is a community of more than 700 vowed women religious dedicated to the love of God and neighbor, committed to sharing life together in community, and missioned to be a unifying, reconciling presence wherever we live and minister. Our mission flows from the purpose for which the congregation exists: We live and work that all people may be united with God and with one another. It is rooted in the mission of Christ, the same mission which continually unfolds in His church, “That all may be one as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; I pray that they may be one in Us.” (John 17:21) We are joined in this commitment by more than 500 lay associates. Responding to the unmet needs in our church and world, we serve in education, healthcare, pastoral and parish ministry, social work, spiritual care and faith development, and in other ministries that respond to spiritual, social and physical needs.
Our congregation was founded by seven formerly independent communities within the Heartland Region of the U.S. Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph. Our founding communities are: Cleveland, OH (est. 1872), LaGrange Park, Ill (est. 1899), Medaille (est. 1855), Nazareth, MI (est. 1889), Tipton, IN (est. 1888), Wheeling, WV (est. 1853), and Wichita, KS (est. 1888). This includes Kyoto, Japan, which was established in 1950 by the Wichita Community.
Any woman or man over the age of 21 who is interested in the mission and spirituality of the CSJ community can inquire about entering our associate program. Candidates are those who share the CSJ commitment to Gospel values, its ideals and goals, and who are drawn to the charism and spirituality of our community. Associates undertake no binding financial or legal commitments to the sisters and continue to live the lifestyle to which they have been called by God.
