Sisters of St. Joseph of Springfield

About Us

You can find Sisters of St. Joseph just about anywhere. We were founded to discover where the need was greatest. We were to go there with love of God and love of neighbor without distinction. For over 350 years, that’s what we have been doing, and it must be effective, for you can now find us in 57 countries. The Springfield Congregation and our lay associates serve in schools and prisons, protest war and advocate nonviolent means of peacemaking, and work with and for justice. We do so joyfully.


The SSJ Springfield Congregation is part of a Federation of all the Sisters of St. Joseph in the United States which includes over 7,000 members of 23 congregations. Visit their web site at: www.cssjfed.org.
