Provincial House Ministries
Saint Joseph’s Provincial House serves many purposes. Located adjacent to the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, it houses the administrative offices of the Community and provides a "home away from home" for the many Sisters who are on mission across the world. It is home to many elderly and infirm sisters who can no longer work in the various ministries and depend on others for their care. And, after their lifetime of ministry, the Sisters return to the grounds of the Provincial House as their eternal resting place. Read on for more information about each of these ministries.
