The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet are a congregation of Catholic sisters. We, and those who share our charism and mission, are motivated in all things by our profound love of God and our dear neighbors. We seek to build communities and bridge divides between people. Since our first sisters gathered in 1650, our members have been called to “do all things of which women are capable.” The first sisters of our congregation arrived in St. Louis, Missouri in 1836, and we now have additional locations in St. Paul, Albany, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Japan and Peru. Today, we commit to respond boldly to injustice and dare to be prophetic.

Mount Angel Seminary, the oldest Catholic seminary west of the Mississippi River, was established in 1889 by the monks of Mount Angel Abbey at the request of the Archbishop of Oregon City. The primary purpose of Mount Angel Seminary is forming and educating men for the Catholic priesthood for dioceses and religious communities. But a sizable number of non-seminarian students, including lay people, study at Mount Angel Seminary in the Graduate School of Theology. Mount Angel Seminary offers degrees ranging from bachelors to doctorate and is an accredited institution under the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) and the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU).
