About Sisters Of St Joseph
The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Philadelphia is a Catholic religious congregation with roots tracing back to 17th century France, founded on the principle of uniting neighbor with neighbor and neighbor with God. Based at their motherhouse in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, the congregation includes approximately 500 sisters who live and work across twelve states, ministering in hospitals, schools, orphanages, and community aid services. The sisters are inspired by their foundational charism of incarnating unioning love and addressing the urgent challenges facing the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable in contemporary society. Visitors interested in learning about the sisters' rich history, which includes their arrival in Philadelphia in 1847 and their service during the Civil War, are welcome to explore their archives and engage with their mission of spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
