March 19th marks the annual celebration of the feast of St. Joseph, our patron. It is a festive day especially dear to the hearts of Sisters of St. Joseph throughout the world. We are mindful of Joseph, that wise and caring carpenter of Nazareth who was the guardian and teacher of Jesus. During our lives, we strive to imitate the qualities of Joseph, the just man who lived a humble, ordinary family life with Jesus and Mary.
In gratitude for our common call to live out the spirit of the gospel, we are mindful of our sisters in community who encourage and support us every day in sustaining our efforts to work in collaboration with others in transforming our broken world.
We experience with joy our common call to live lives of self-emptying love as we seek to build relationships that make a difference in our global community. Although our sisters are scattered far and wide in ministry, we celebrate our oneness today and every day.
