SSJ Leadership Team

The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Rochester is a congregation of Gospel-centered women. Using their talents, expertise, and networks, the Sisters find the best ways to help others and fulfill their ministry of serving neighbors, all people, no matter who they are or where they find themselves. Our Sisters, active and retired, work quietly addressing pressing societal needs and extending God's presence to the countless persons we pray for and meet each day. 

The Sisters of Saint Joseph of Rochester serve in twelve counties of our Diocese, rural Alabama, and Brazil. Our ministries include education, healthcare, counseling, and social services. Nazareth was the first ministry the Sisters established in Rochester, and their commitment to providing quality Catholic education in the city remains strong today.

Nazareth Elementary is grateful to our Sisters and the SSJ Leadership Team for their ongoing support and grace as we continue our ministry of educating young children.
