Fostering relationships along the journey of life.

This committee meets four times a year to share highlights from the vocation ministry in each congregation, and consider what steps might be taken together to promote a culture of vocation.

Young adults have been invited on pilgrimages, exploring the original foundations of Sisters of St. Joseph in Ontario. The committee prepares prayer services to mark significant dates shared by all members of the Federation, occasional reports and inspirational materials.

These are posted in the resources section of the website.


The Sisters of St. Joseph

through the unifying love of Christ

are animated by a life of prayer,

live with simplicity and compassion,

nurture community,

care for God’s creation,

minister with active, inclusive love,

bring healing and hope.

Could this be you?
