Being Josephite Reflections

The reflections below begin with the characteristics of Joseph and take a glimpse into how these characteristics are expressed in our local Josephite community today...

Te Awa ō Whanganui 

Inspiration is drawn from:

• the Gospel stories of Joseph
• insights from In the Spirit of Joseph by Mary Cresp rsj
• the lived experience of the Sisters of St Joseph, Whanganui
• Te Ripo booklet
• and others who have tapped into the ‘Josephite river’ over time.
