Missioned May 12, 1807

 Go Forth!

On May 12, 1807, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny were founded by Anne Marie Javouhey to go forth and bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to all.  

Our charism calls us to work for the liberation of both others and ourselves, as we live faithfully our religious consecration and respond to the cries of our wounded world and creation.  Today we are 2,600 Cluny Sisters serving in 57 countries throughout the world.  Our internationality and diversity of culture, language and ministries, gives new vitality to the life of the congregation and all the world.  In joy we give thanks and renew our commitment to be available for the Mission, going further and going beyond our securities into the unknown.  

Beginning May 3rd to May 11th, the Clunys in the United States invite you to join in a Novena Prayer to our Foundress, Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey, giving thanksgiving for these years of service in the Church and in gratitude that we have been entrusted with this Mission of Jesus Christ.

Novena Prayer                     Seeking God,  Finding God,  Following God

Lord our God, you enabled Blessed Anne Mrie to consecrate herself to the carrying out of your Holy Will in all things and to be ever attentive to your calls as manifested through the poorest of her brothers and sisters. Grant that we, in the Church of our day, may zealously continue the work you confided to her.

Through her intercession hear the prayers we address to You. In your goodness grant us the favor of her canonization for your glory and to promote your reign of love, justice and peace. Amen.

Blessed Anne Marie, Javouhey, 

Pray for us who have recourse to you.
