 St. Joseph Hall
The Long-Term Care Facility for the
Religious Teachers Filippini
Caring for Those Who Have Cared So Much
 Saint Joseph Hall, home for the infirm Sisters of the Religious Teachers Filippini, opened in July 2005. It is a fine facility built and structured through the love, kindheartedness, and appreciation of so many people - people like you. We need to maintain a range of care for these Sisters. Consequently, we appeal to you, our friends. With open and generous hearts, we ask you to respond to our need. Your financial contributions will help us continue to provide for them.
Through the years, numerous lives, especially children, have been enriched by these Sisters. Their efforts, sacrifices, dedication, and zeal have instilled faith and goodness in the hearts of their students through a quality education. This has given birth and origin to the success story of countless people. Here and now is your opportunity to say, "thank you." Your gift will serve as a reminder of all they have achieved and given.
May your kindness harvest an abundance of God's blessings for you and those you love.
Sincerely and gratefully,
Sister Betty Jean Takacs, MPF

Responding to Needs
 For more than three hundred years, the mission of the Religious Teachers Filippini has been to evangelize children and adults, through the ministry of Christian education and formation. Saint Lucy Filippini, foundress of this Institute, desired to be in every part of the world to proclaim God's love to all peoples. Present in six continents throughout the world, we see Saint Lucy's dream fulfilled.
In 1910, at the invitation of Pope Pius X, five Sisters were sent to the United States to minister to immigrants in Trenton, New Jersey. Since then, young women have joined them to imitate Saint Lucy's way of life. The Sisters have labored enthusiastically and steadily to pro¬mote the spirit and mission of Saint Lucy, touching the lives of thousands of children through education in faith and learning.
As we focus on caring for our ill and retired Sisters, we also look to our future and ask you to join us in prayer to the Lord of the Harvest for vocations to the Religious Teachers Filippini.
How does Saint Joseph Hall respond to the needs of the Filippini Sisters?
