Recent Events

Welcome to our website.In this space we hope to keep in touch with the Cluny family worldwide.

When our Foundress Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey died in 1851 there were 1,000 Saint Joseph of Cluny Sisters spread throughout the world. At present there are 3,300 of whom 350 are Irish. We have designed this website with the intention of keeping Blessed Anne-Marie's light burning. She lives because her daughters of all races and all nations continue in the work that the Lord confided to her. Anne-Marie was a great communicator, but often had to wait six months for a reply to her letters.Just imagine what she would have thought of the Internet and email. We have no doubt that she would have seen it as a way to spread the word of the Lord and get things done faster.
We would like to thank all the Sisters and Associates who contributed to this site,offering photographs and up to date data on their communities. We see this as a way of keeping in touch as we The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Cluny are spread throughout every corner of the world often not seeing each other for long periods of time.
Each of us knows that we are fulfilling a mission in the Church,whether it is Parish work,Education,Building new Communities or Caring in the Nursing Homes.As Blessed Anne-Marie herself said,"Let us think of the Honour God has conferred on us by calling us to make Him known,loved and served in countries that are in such need."Today she still draws her Sisters to follow in her wake.We would like to take this opportunity of wishing the recently established communities in Cuba,Tanzania best wishes. Although we are spread out all over the world,with the wonders of modern science we can communicate from community to community ,country to country,continent to continent. Keep in touch.
God Bless.
