Sisters of St. Joseph are ordinary women who do ordinary things with an extraordinary vision. We serve primarily in the diocese of Buffalo, NY.

The Sisters of St. Joseph and Associate members of the Congregation live a life of reflective prayer and active service.

Our changing world calls us to a wide variety of services, done in a variety of ways.  Whether we’re in pastoral work, social services, education or some other forms of service, we think of ourselves as working for our neighbor.  We believe deeply that the spirit we bring to our work is essential; “the quality of our presence is the essence of our ministry.”

We hear the challenges of the new millennium.  They call us to deeper faitfulness to the Gospel of Jesus and to the challenge of our rich tradition:  “Live with one desire only—to be what God desires you to be.”
