Formed as Founders

October 15, 2024 • Sister Erin McDonald and Sister Colleen Gibson • Season 5 • Episode 4

Happy Founders Day! Every October 15th, we celebrate the day all Sisters of St. Joseph were founded in Le Puy, France. This years Founders Day also begins the celebration of the sisters 375th anniversary. In today's episode, Sisters Erin and Colleen have a conversation with Sister Deirdre Griffin, a Sister of St. Joseph of Springfield, about the first six Sisters of St. Joseph, what "founders" they look up to in their lives, and how we each continue to act as founders today.
