Who We Are…
Celebrating 149 years of service in the community,
the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston
are ordinary women from all walks of life.
We are sisters, associates, agrégées
and partners in mission.
In all we are and do,
we hope to be women and men of unifying love,
freeing others to be themselves in Christ.
Together, we contribute to a world desperately
in need of unity.
We are united in this mission with
Sisters of St. Joseph and lay partners
all over the world.

On May 11, 2022, we celebrated our 9th Annual Living the Dream Dinner. Part of the evening included a video featuring our mission of unifying love with the dear neighbor. Our sisters Maureen Doherty, CSJ, Marie Therese Martin, CSJ, and Carlotta Gilarde, CSJ, are featured in this video. Listen as they reflect on how they have been called to serve the dear neighbor without distinction as Sisters of Saint Joseph.

5/26/22 Call to End Gun Violence from over 23000 Catholic Sisters and Partners
As part of the U.S. Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph, we join in this collaborative statement.
The undersigned communities represent over 23,000 Catholic women religious, associates, agregees, and partners in mission in over 30 states. Today, we are all residents of Uvalde, Texas, a relatively small community more than 80 miles from San Antonio. On Tuesday, May 24, the world witnessed another horrific, senseless tragedy as a lone gunman shot and killed 21 people, including 19 students, at Robb Elementary School just two days before the end of the school year. We challenge ourselves, our Church, and all people of goodwill to rededicate themselves to end the scourge of gun violence in this country. READ FULL STATEMENT BY CLICKING TITLE
