What we do...

Sisters of St Joseph NSW - Ministries

'The Mission of the Sisters of St Joseph has always been expressed in a variety of ministries. As authentic expressions of our Josephite mission we continue to serve in our traditional ministries of education and social and pastoral works, and we endeavour to meet the challenge of new and continuing needs, ever conscious of Mary MacKillop's call for a spirit of unbounded generosity.'

Traditional emphases that still characterise our ministries are:

• desire to work for the poor and neglected
• involvement in the local church
• loyalty and support for the priesthood
• willingness to give way to others in our works
• availability to serve in remote areas
• readiness to work in and through our weakness and frailty with trust and dependence on God." Traditions and Practices of the Congregation

The Challenge

"...radical trust in the Providence of God, loyal service to the local
Church, a readiness to discern the urgent needs of the time..." Constitutions

"We commit ourselves again to retell the story of Mary MacKillop with our lives, letting her passion be our passion." NSW Province Chapter 2001
