Women of Courage, Don’t Let Your Dreams Die

Communications

Moment from the Jubilee Celebration…

For 375 years, the Sisters of St. Joseph have faithfully and lovingly responded to the Dear Neighbor wherever and whenever there was a need. Today sisters, associates, agrégées, and partners in mission continue to keep this mission alive in our world. On October 19, 2025, we celebrated the lives of 28 jubilarians who, this year, mark 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, and 45 years – a collective total of 1850 years of presence and dedicated service as women of courage, women of strength, witnessing hope in our world.

Above: the theme of this year’s celebration.

 Jubilee is about honoring the past that brings us to this moment. It is about today and who we have become. And much more, it is about tomorrow and how the Spirit continually kindles in us the fire of God’s love. In the words of our jubilee communion meditation, “Women of Courage,” by Florence Kahler, CSJ, we pray “Love moves us forward for what lies ahead…look to the future, don’t let your dreams die.”
