2024 Jubilee Event Honors 35 Sisters

Thirty-five Sisters of St. Joseph commemorated their years of service with an annual Jubilee Celebration at the Brentwood Campus on Saturday, Sept. 28.

The event began with a Mass of Thanksgiving honoring the 2024 Jubilarians in the Sacred Heart Chapel at 11 a.m. It was followed by a luncheon.

“The Jubilant face of God radiated in my life and in the lives of the other Jubilarians as we celebrated our faith-filled and awesome journey as Sisters of St. Joseph,” shared S. Tesa Fitzgerald ’64, CSJ, president of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood, who was recognized at the event for 60 years of service.

“With gratitude and hope we walk into our future together, trusting God’s providence and one another,” she added.

Jubilarians ranged from 25 years of service all the way to 80 years. The event brought friends and family to campus to celebrate with the Sisters as they recounted their history here. See the full list of Jubilarians below.
