Description
The Sisters of St. Joseph arrived in Canada in 1851. Now, more than 150 years later, we are six Congregations joined together in a Federation, but this was not always so.
In 1836 six Sisters of St. Joseph settled in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States. They worked among native and black children, deaf children and new immigrants to the city.
A novitiate for the formation of new Sisters was established and although the days were challenging with a new language, harsh living conditions and financial need, the community quickly grew in number.
The Sisters were soon asked to minister in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and New York.
Company description
In 1650, in LePuy, France, Father Jean Pierre Médaille, a Jesuit priest, gathered together six women to form a community to respond to the needs of the poor.
From 1789-1794, during the French Revolution many of the Sisters were imprisoned, some even guillotined. Many escaped by taking refuge in their family homes.
Thirteen years later in 1807, Mother St. John Fontbonne, one of the Sisters who had been imprisoned, was requested by Cardinal Fesch, Archbishop of Lyon, to gather together a community of former religious in his diocese. Through Mother St. John and several other Sisters of St. Joseph, this new Congregation maintained continuity with the first community founded by Father Médaille.
The membership continued to grow and the Sisters quickly set up houses throughout France, then into Europe and the Americas.
