HistoryThe Congregation of Sisters of St. Joseph was founded in Le Puy, France by the Jesuit priest Jean-Pierre Médaille and accepted by the bishop, Mgr. de Maupas, on October 15, 1650. The Congregation of Sisters of Saint Joseph was disbanded during the French Revolution and was re-established in 1807 by Mother Saint John Fontbonne in Lyon, France. Dioceses throughout France requested the services of the order.
Sisters were sent from Bourg-en-Bresse to establish houses in the United States. By 1962, the Bourg Congregation had six provinces, three in Europe and three in the United States, with missions in Africa and Latin America. In July 1977, the six provinces voted to become two separate congregations, one based in Europe, the other in America. On November 30, 1977, Rome officially declared the three American provinces to be a new Congregation in the Church: the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Medaille. The name Medaille was chosen because it is the family name of the Jesuit priest who helped found the Sisters in 1650 and because the Sisters were geographically located in the north, central and southern areas of the United States. Sister Janet Roesener of Cincinnati, Ohio was chosen the first superior general. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange were founded in 1912. Their ministries include healthcare, education, retreat ministry, spiritual direction and pastoral ministry. Purpose
