Sister of Saint Joseph - a member of the Congregation who has made a total commitment to God and neighbor and commits herself to continue the mission of Jesus expressed in the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience. It is a relationship between the sister and the Congregation which presupposes God's call to live religious life freely and radically as Jesus did in his time.
