We must teach more by example than by word.             JTW –

Think of Mary MacKillop and learn from her to be a gift of love and compassion for one another, for Australia and for the whole world.  John Paul11

Go on courageously and continue to pray.         JTW                            1868

Unless we have the spirit of humility we shall only be Sisters of St. Joseph
(Josephites) in name.   MMK

The spirit of the Institute (Josephites) is a spirit of prayer, poverty and humility.  It is meant as a remedy for the luxury and pride of the world and a protest against both.        JTW

We are but instruments in the hands of God and must never act as if we were more.                   JTW

Strengthened by our unity we believe in God’s call to a Josephite future which, though different from the past, continues to be true to our charism and mission.   (Goulburn General Chapter, 2005)
We are summoned, as Mary and Julian were, to set out on new pathways.  (2007 Central Chapter)

We dare to walk with people who are poor and those without a voice with whatever talents and resources we have. We commit ourselves to reject any form of injustice and take action where we can. Sisters of St Joseph Perthville Mission Statement
