From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis is a Roman Catholic Franciscan religious congregation for women. The Congregation was established in 1901. Their motherhouse is in Stevens Point, Wisconsin in the Diocese of La Crosse.[1]
The Congregation was founded on July 1, 1901, by 46 former members of the School Sisters of St. Francis who wished to see to the educational needs of the children of Polish immigrants. They began this journey in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, under the title of the "Polish Sisters of St. Joseph". The congregation acquired its current title in 1945.
