Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Take a few seconds to learn about world poverty, and please feel welcome to share this post so others can learn as well!

Thank you to everyone who made this year's Week of Service such a success! During the past week, 103 volunteers participated in 10 projects! Each individual contributed significantly to serving the dear neighbor, and are an incredible inspiration!

Sister Anna Louise turned 101! She is the "wisest" among us. Always ready for cake may be one of her secrets to a long, joyous life. Happy birthday Sister Anna Louise!

Join us in celebrating Sr. Sara Tarango, CSJ, who made her First Profession of Vows this past Saturday! After two years as a novice she is now a professed member of our congregation! Please pray for her and our community!

We recently gathered with friends and colleagues to prayerfully consider our congregation's history and focus on our future. A week of of discussion, listening, and fellowship has given us a clearer vision of how we will continue to serve our dear neighbor.

Sr. Susan Trezek demonstrates lacemaking to our friends and colleagues at our annual Community Days event. The tradition of lacemaking lives on in our Sisters to this day! Stop by our campus to learn more about the Sisters of St. Joseph and our history with lacemaking.

FEDERATION EVENT 2022: On a heritage tour in St. Louis, Sister Trish had the honor of ringing the bell at Holy Family log church in Cahokia, Illinois. The site is one of the first places where Sisters of St. Joseph served when they arrived in North America in 1836.

The Healthcare Foundation board held a retirement luncheon for Sister Regina Fox, seen here with her successor, Barry Ross. It was a wonderful event where one could see how Sister Regina touched the lives of so many funders in Orange County. #sistersofstjoseph #OrangeCounty
