This new history of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, focuses on the growth and evolution of the Congregation through the years 1944-1999. This book attempts to look at the Congregation, an ecclesial group of Catholic women religious, from the particular perspectives of spirituality, ministry, and governance. This history provides a view of the experience of women religious within a particular time and place. The Catholic in the pew and researchers alike will gain insight into the life of the Philadelphia Sisters of Saint Joseph in this important era of their transformation.

Industry Reviews
The Sisters of Saint Joseph play an integral role in the story of Philadelphia Catholicism. Ready for Any Good Work documents the Congregation’s ministries and history . . . in light of Vatican II’s mandate to read the “signs of the time” and the major changes taking place in the Church and Philadelphia during the latter half of the twentieth century. Readers will be especially pleased to note that the authors are not afraid to include topics that may be controversial or painful, such as the numbers of women who left the Congregation in the 1960s and 1970s. Ready for Any Good Work is a valuable addition to the growing history of women religious in the United States.
