Sisters of St Joseph I: International; US Federation; Congregation of St Joseph; Carondelet; Philadelphia; Wheeling; Buffalo; New Orleans; Brooklyn; Erie; Rochester

The Sisters of St Joseph gave hands and feet to St Francis de Sales' original design for the Visitation sisters. They also borrowed heavily from the Vincentian model of service. 

Having been founded by a Jesuit, the Sisters are Ignatian-Salesian in spirituality.
