The Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambéry, established by St. Jean-Claude Colin in 1812 but with roots in the U.S. missions from 1836, focus on education, healthcare, and service to the poor in North America. Numbering around 2,500 worldwide, they pioneered Catholic schools in California and expand to Latin America and Asia. Their charism of unity and hospitality reflects immigrant Catholic communities in the U.S., where they serve 70 million faithful.
