We, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto, are a Roman Catholic congregation of women founded in France around 1650. We have been in Toronto since 1851.
As a religious community, we are brought together by the love of Christ. We are called by God, the Gospel and the Church to serve those in need in simplicity and compassion and to pursue social justice and equality for all. We are committed to creating a society transformed by Gospel values in the areas of social justice, peace and creation.
We invite others to join us in living the Gospel values and serving the “dear neighbour”, with a current focus on Indigenous justice, the climate emergency, labour exploitation and human trafficking.
We continue our long tradition of advocacy and support for creation care and social justice, with a special emphasis on clean drinking water as a human right.
We invite others to collaborate with us in our mission and ministry and participate in our spirituality.
Our latest issue of Journey for Justice, our social justice newsletter, explores themes of relationships: between people, cultures, nations, and the elements of Creation itself. Read it at csj-to.ca/journeyforjustice

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Murray Sinclair, Anishinaabe senator and Truth & Reconciliation Commission chair. We can celebrate his life by continuing to support the work of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and the rights of all Indigenous peoples.
