Sisters of Saint Joseph Mission and Vision
Norwood-Fontbonne Academy is a sponsored work of the Sisters of Saint Joseph (SSJs). Through their support of Norwood-Fontbonne Academy, the SSJs continue to fulfill their mission that “all people may be united with God and one another.”
The Sisters of Saint Joseph are committed to working toward active inclusive relationships with the people with whom they serve. They believe that their commitment to collaborate with others helps unite all persons to God and with one another.
Nearly 700 Sisters of St. Joseph serve in “any good work” across 19 states as well as overseas.
Additionally, the sisters have widened their Congregational family to include SSJ Associates in Mission, a group of lay women and men who share in the Sisters’ mission through prayer and ministry.
Relationships are central to the spirituality and mission of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. Norwood-Fontbonne Academy’s curriculum is directly influenced by this spirituality.
NFA’s Service Learning curriculum, in particular, reflects the SSJs’ commitment to seek out relationships with others in need. Outreach at NFA is the face-to-face relationship with brothers and sisters in Christ.
