Foundress & Patron

Blessed Anne Marie Javouhey (1779 – 1851) urged by the desire to seek, find and accomplish the will of God, founded the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny, in Cluny (France), under the patronage of St. Joseph. In fulfilling the will of God revealed to her by a special intervention of God, she went beyond the boundaries of France to Africa and Mana (South America). At Mana she was the pioneer for the liberation of African slaves (apartheid). The sisters of the Congregation are scattered over the five continents, imbued with the same zeal to carry on her mission in the Social, Medical and Educational fields. This congregation is geographically divided into provinces, of which the Province of South East India, having its headquarters in Pondicherry, India, is one of them. In 1827, the first three Cluny Sisters came to Pondicherry. They were followed three years later by Mother Rosalie Javouhey, Anne Marie’s youngest sister. In accordance with the spirit of the Foundress, they launched out into social, medical and educational fields. To impart sound moral, spiritual, human and social values to the students for life, and to prepare them for their respective roles in society, schools were established.

Saint Joseph is its patron. The sisters learn from him to live in intimacy with Jesus and Mary, and to appreciate the nobility and sanctifying value of work. All the letters in his name points to the saint’s outstanding virtues: J for justice, O for obedience, S for silence, E for experience,P for prudence and H for humility. Thus Joseph did indeed possess all the virtues indicative of being ‘just’.
Saint Joseph watches over children with loving care, just as he guarded and cared for the Infant Saviour. May the serenity of the modest workshop of Nazareth ever reign in our workplaces the serenity that makes human labour a factor for growth and giving it the dimension of a fruitful vocation.

The task of bringing up and training children is one of the most important concerns of humankind. The numerous books by psychologists and counsellors which deal with this matter is proof enough. The survival of our race depends on the way we bring up and train our children. The exercising of parental responsibility and discipline should go hand in hand.
