Christian Liberation

Each member is called to live in a way that assists in the Christian liberation of persons. As a work of the Spirit, Christian liberation is a continuing effort to recognize, affirm and defend the inherent dignity of all persons against every type of discrimination and against every form of violence and oppression which deny full human development.

As our early Sisters of St. Joseph walked city streets and country paths to help those in need, they realized that education was crucial to go beyond meeting immediate needs. When the first sisters came in 1858 to what would later be known as the Albany Province, they came to respond to a need to teach the children of hundreds of immigrants who had come to build the Erie Canal. Over the years, the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Albany Province staffed many elementary and secondary schools in the Albany and Syracuse Dioceses and were integral to the founding and development of the parochial school system in both dioceses. In 1920, the Sisters of St. Joseph founded The College of Saint Rose  which continues to thrive today as a coeducational, four-year college in Albany, New York.
