This sisterhood of ours transcends time and space. It strengthens and reinforces our bonds to each other. Every alumna you meet along your path in life becomes a link within the sisterhood circle. This circle grows larger and stronger every year. This wonderfully unique Carondelet connection binds us all together and that, dear sisters, is what sisterhood is all about.

I hope you know that all of you are part of this sisterhood that began by the Sisters of St. Joseph with soup and lace over 350 years ago.... It started in France in the 1650s with six women who saw the needs of their community and responded with heart, faith and courage! What an amazing sisterhood to be a part of!
