December 9

The eleventh day of Advent is Throwback Thursday again!

December 9

It's #ThrowbackThursday again, and today we have pictures of staff from days past!

The Sisters of St. Joseph, St. Paul Province and the Ministries Foundation support the ministries and programs of the Sisters. Together we work to make sure the Sisters' mission continues into the future. We hope you enjoy getting to know a few members of our community, and we encourage you to share your #ThrowbackThursday holiday photos using the hashtag #MFadventcalendar
