In the twenty-first century, the Sisters of St.
Joseph remain a vital community of women who seek to be a unifying
presence in the world. Each one endeavors to live at one with the
‘dear neighbor’ however that is possible. As women who
are part of a larger Federation (23 congregations of St. Joseph
in the United States), they speak out about issues of injustice
and lend their voices to those who are seldom heard, or have no
voice. They continue to minister through prayer and action…practicing
“all the works of mercy of which women is capable” in
the way their founders desired.
The Sisters recognize there is a need for
quiet space…and time to think and pray. Contemplation can
be described as taking a good long look at whatever it is that you
seek. Creating retreat space can be an integral part of the contemplation
process. The Sisters of St. Joseph have created an atmosphere conducive
to reflection.
Please take a few moments to review the web
site and see the settings. Gain a glimpse of the peaceful atmosphere
that is St. Joseph Center. Imagine yourself immersed in solitude
while you seek a better understanding of yourself and the world
in which you live.
