Associates of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston

May 1 has become the date when our Boston CSJ Associates renew their commitment.
Associates are women and men who desire to share our faith journeys with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston in a mission of unity and reconciliation. Our Associate program began in Boston 1985. We have several sisters in New Mexico and the Associate expanded to New Mexico around 2001. There are over 80 associates in Boston and New Mexico. A few years ago, I was invited to go to New Mexico to offer a day of reflection on our history and spirituality for the Associates there. A couple of months later, I offered the same presentation for our Boston Associates.

Last Friday the Boston Associates renewed thier commitment. There are also nine women who are candidates for the Associate program. The New Mexico Associates will renew their commitment in early June.

We offer the Associate program for women and men who are drawn to live the spirit and spirituality of the Sisters of St. Joseph and desire to share in its response to the changing needs of the Church and society. Many other religious congregations do the same. You can even download a brochure about the program from our website.
