There are a number of people who participate in the life of being an Associate of the Sisters of St. Joseph in the family of parishes. The following is some information about them.
Today, laywomen and men form small communities to pray together and to share in a common vision and mission, one of transformation in and through love.
We, as Associates, find ourselves drawn, amid our busy family, work and everyday lives, to a life of active, all-inclusive love of God, neighbour, and the earth. This calling is the Charism or gift that we share with the Sisters of St. Joseph.
Together, we explore what love without exclusion looks like in our world. We give each other support on our journeys. As the Sisters, we are “contemplatives in action”. We strive to intentionally listen to what God is saying to us and act in ways that build peace and unity in the world. We ask ourselves, “What is ours to do?” It is a privilege to be part of the Family of Joseph.
If you feel drawn by these ideas, we encourage you to explore them further with us.
