Foundation Day
May 12, 1807
The congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Cluny has approximately 2600 sisters in 57 countries, 30 provinces, 418 communities across 5 continents, working in education, health, evangelization and social action.
In the heart of Cluny Sisters around the world today there is a great joy and deep gratitude for the charism that has been given to the congregation and the mission that has been entrusted to them since the beginning.
- to know and do the Holy Will of God through discernment and total availability
- to sow seeds of hope and compassion reaping a harvest of liberation and justice
- to be a sign for our world through community life... a place of personal growth, spiritual support, conversion and pardon, discernment, shared mission and caring.
- to be grounded in prayer and contemplatives in action - celebrating and nurturing our relationship with God in many different ways
On May 12th, our Foundation Day, Cluny Sisters and their Associates and Collaborators in mission around the world celebrate their MISSIONARY CALL that began in 1807 with few, in response to the needs of that time and the urgings of the Holy Spirit – a remarkable Pentecost Moment in the Church and the World.
During this Covid-19, Global Pandemic…
“Anne Marie’s Charism lives because her daughters,
from every race and nation and tongue,
have but one heart and one soul and continue in the Church
the work the Lord entrusted to her.”
Constitutions of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny
“ ‘It is God’s work we are doing’
The certainty of sharing, through the Congregation,
in the Church’s vast mission of evangelization is a powerful stimulus, which makes us more conscious of our responsibilities. With faith in the continuous call of the Holy Spirit, every sister feels committed to carry on today the task begun yesterday.”
