Our Ministries - Education
From the very beginning the sisters were involved in education. As time progressed sisters were found in parish schools and universities in the United Kingdom, and on the west and east coast of the United States. We, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, retain our commitment to education by our presence in the institutions and their boards. Sisters and Associates also minister directly in education in a variety of settings.
