The Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis is an evangelical community of Franciscan women called to observe with loving and generous hearts the holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to The Rule and Life of the Brothers and Sisters of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis. In all that we do, we seek to reveal the Kingdom of God; and in so doing, we reverence all created life.
Our oneness with the human family allows us to open our hearts and our lives to all. It is through the Franciscan value of conversion that enables us to willingly begin again, growing deeper in our relationship with Jesus Christ, and to serve all of God's people.
As Franciscans we pass through life as a servant, pilgrim, and prophetic witness to the poverty of God-in-Christ, not holding onto but generously giving to all with whom we come in contact. Following St. Francis, we strive to 'preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words.' |

especially Sir Brother Sun,
Who is the day and through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor;
