About Sisters of St Joseph
The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Philadelphia is a Catholic congregation with deep historical roots tracing back to seventeenth-century France, founded on the principle of unioning love and service to neighbors in need. Established in Philadelphia in 1847, the congregation has grown to approximately 500 members who live and work across twelve states, responding to urgent challenges facing the church and world with a commitment to spiritual and corporal works of mercy. The sisters have ministered in hospitals, schools, orphanages, battlefields, and community aid services, embodying their founding charism of addressing the needs of the poor, marginalized, and vulnerable. Their motherhouse is located in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, where visitors and those seeking prayer support are invited to connect with the community. The congregation also welcomes Associates in Mission—lay partners who commit to living out this mission of union with God and neighbor in their daily lives.
