Sisters of St. Joseph of Rochester, NY (SSJ)

We are a religious community of women committed to the radical message of the gospel “that all may be one” (Jn 17:21) and strive to live as witnesses and bearers of the reconciling love of Jesus. We define our lives through prayer, community, and service in the company of our “neighbor” with compassion, creativity, and courage. We are called to do “any work a woman is capable of” in a struggling and hope-filled world. Exploring religious life is a journey and hopefully a discovery to where you will find a home and where you are your best and your most generous self. This journey takes time to get to know a community and the community to know you–come for a visit!
