Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden

Beaver County · dedicated 2024 · 1020 State Street

Originally founded in Le Puy, France, the Sisters of St. Joseph established a convent in Ebensburg in 1869 and relocated to Baden in 1901. Known for their service in education, healthcare, and social welfare, they served as missionaries in other countries, notably China from 1926 to 1948. In 1894, the Sisters became the object of a public controversy for wearing their religious habits while teaching in a public school.
