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.

To begin the process, we took an appreciative look back at the evolving history.
