Consensus Statement of the Sisters of St. Joseph

Stimulated by the Holy Spirit of Love and receptive to the Spirit’s inspirations,

the Sister of St. Joseph moves always towards

profound love of God and

love of neighbor without distinction

from whom she does not separate herself

and for whom, in the following of Christ,

she works in order to achieve unity

of neighbor with neighbor

and neighbor with God

directly in this apostolate

and indirectly through works of charity:

in humility-the spirit of the Incarnate Word;

in sincere charity-the manner of St. Joseph whose name she bears;

in an Ignatian-Salesian climate: that is, with an orientation toward excellence,

tempered by gentleness, peace, joy.
