Honoring 540 years of love and service

Each January, we introduce our Jubilarians —- the very special women who are marking noteworthy anniversaries of the date they were received as novices into the Sisters of St. Joseph of Concordia. In 2014, we honor 10 sisters who together represent 540 years of love of God and service to the neighbor.

Each sister provided brief biographical information. Then she was asked to respond to this question (in 300 or fewer words): What event, incident or memory best captures what religious life means to you?
