Who We Are…
Celebrating more than 145 years of service in the community, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston are ordinary women from all walks of life.
We work for unity and reconciliation where there is brokenness, helping people become whole and holy, individually and together. Also known as the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph (CSJ), we are a Catholic community with over 500 women who are sisters, associates, agregees and volunteers sharing in Christ’s mission of unifying love.
This year we celebrate the 35th Anniversary of our Boston CSJ Associate Relationship. This video offers highlights from a recent gathering of Sisters, Associates, Agrégées and friends. We gathered in prayer to share wonderful memories and treasured relationships with dedicated people – people who have shared some of the fabric of their lives with us and certainly embraced the CSJ spirit. During the prayer, a number of sisters and associates reflected on the past, present and future of our Associate Relationship. Together, we continue on the journey.

These ministries address the interconnectedness of housing, literacy, justice and peace, education, healthcare and more. They embrace our core values of gracious hospitality, love and service of the dear neighbor without distinction, peaceful resolution of conflict, and care for all God’s creation.
