The Mission of the Sisters of Saint
Joseph is rooted in the prayer of Jesus, “May they
be one.” (John 17:21) Recognizing that we
are all interrelated, interconnected and interdependent,
we are challenged to make a difference in our world by
choosing to live and act as one.
It is by virtue of our Baptism that
each Christian is “called, consecrated, and sent
forth” to contribute to this “oneness” through
choosing to promote justice, to love all persons without
distinction, to express compassion, to forgive and to
care for our earth.
In an effort to deepen our commitment
to “oneness,” the Mission Effectiveness Committee
presents varied suggestions for keeping the mission alive.
