We can.

Possumus is Latin for “we can.” It sums up the drive and willpower that identifies the Sisters of St. Joseph as one of the most influential organizations in Minnesota in the past 150 years.

Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Paul Province (CSJ), are linked to more than 16,000 other Sisters of St. Joseph, lay members, and thousands of other religious women as well. Sisters of St. Joseph have been serving since 1650. Today we span the globe

Possumus energy gives us the boldness and courage to work for right relationships not just for our generation but for generations to come. It spins networks of help and hope that pull together communities of people who care for their neighbors, strangers, and the earth.

Possumus magazine unites the Sisters of St. Joseph with a community of readers choosing to be informed and engaged in the issues facing our world. Open the PDF file below to read our first issue, or email ibohn@csjstpaul.org for your own complimentary copy.

We are pleased to have you engaged in these great conversations. Your participation allows us to cast the network of help and hope into your world. Let’s make a difference.

We can.
