Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph

We, the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph,

witness the Gospel in joy and peace, committed to prayer, service, and

care for all creation.
FSSJ Mission Statement

The Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph have a strong devotion to Mary.  Praying the rosary and pondering her deep faith throughout her life gives each of us the strength to say yes every day to the God who loves us. Every May we have the devotion of crowning Mary by some of the Sisters who are celebrating significant anniversaries as FSSJ.  Sister Marcia Ann, celebrating 50 years as FSSJ, and Sister Valenta, celebrating 65 years as FSSJ crown Mary this year.  For more information on all of our Jubilarians, go to Current News.

“Mary is the Mother who patiently and tenderly leads us to God, so that He may untie the knots in our soul.”   
                                                                        Pope Francis

“Hail, O Lady,
Mary, holy Mother of God:
you are the Virgin made Church
and the one chosen by the
most holy Father in heaven
whom He consecrated
with His most holy beloved Son
and with the Holy Spirit the Paraclete,
in whom there was and is
the fullness of grace and every good.” 

              Praises of Mary by St. Francis of Assisi
