Sisters Of St Joseph Mission Ofc

The Sisters of Saint Joseph were among the 1st Catholic communities to be established for the ordinary woman. They were not wealthy or educated and worked to support themselves especially by making lace, a common trade in that region of France. Today, those who are attracted to this still live among the people and provide their lives in love and service. We carry on the heritage of our founders, six French women who joined a Jesuit priest in 1650 to start a community without cloister or habit and devoted to the requirements of the ordinary people.
