Sisters of St Joseph Lochinvar
Menu
The charism of the Sisters of St Joseph Lochinvar is a way of life that makes us more God-centred, more far-seeing and more energised for mission. It includes:
Our Founders constantly urged us to trust, as our patron St Joseph did, in the living, loving presence of God.
We seek ways by which God’s saving love might be brought to the poor, the ‘Anawim’ (the little ones), remembering we are all poor in some ways.
Since we see everything around us as God’s continual creation, we respond with care for this great gift and a sense of justice for its preservation.
The spirit in which we live together was given to us by Fr Julian Tenison Woods in words from the first Letter of St Peter: “You should all agree among yourselves and be sympathetic; love everyone, have compassion and be self-effacing.”
The charism of our Congregations as a gift of the Holy Spirit is shared with others, especially those who, desiring to deepen their baptismal consecration, identify with our Josephite spirit and mission.
Our Constitutions: A Future and A Hope, 2000
Paved by our founders who were devoted to and guided by our Lord Jesus Christ
By our religious profession we publicly commit ourselves to that mission: to proclaim and witness to God’s love and presence in the world by our way of life and apostolic service.
