Purpose and Vision

Acting More as One

The Federation is a dynamic union of Sisters of Saint Joseph which moves us to greater consciousness of our kinship in grace and calls us to fidelity to that grace. This Federation is a dynamic union of all Sisters of Saint Joseph of the United States who claim a common origin in the foundation at LePuy, France.

• To support in all Sisters of Saint Joseph a continual striving to incarnate CSJ/SSJ charism within the mission of Jesus in the church of today and of the future.
• To integrate a continuing exploration of CSJ/SSJ charism by an approach that looks toward its living expression as well as its historical roots.
• To collaborate in programs which facilitate the understanding and interpretation of the CSJ/SSJ charism as it affects the life and ministry of the members.
• To provide the members with a sense of belonging to a movement greater than one's own congregation.
• To serve as a means of linking leaders and members of CSJ/SSJ congregations through the direction of a Governing Board.
