Serving God and the Dear Neighbor without Distinction
Do you believe that a garden can change the world? We do!
Globally and locally, we see the effects of pollution, polarization, and poverty in our world and seek to respond, in love, to these critical needs of our times.
By supporting Faith. Field. Feast., an annual farm-to-table celebration on September 21, 2024, at the home of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden, you play a pivotal role in this vital work of repairing relationships with Earth, within our food systems, and among our neighbors.

Ecology Ministry Fosters Curiosity and Connection to Earth
Rooted in love and fueled by the generosity of our supporters, the Sisters’ Ecology Ministry is an invitation to deeper relationship – with God, with all creation, and with one another.
We were delighted to welcome our friends and campus neighbors from Provident Charter School West, a school for elementary-age children with dyslexia, for an afternoon of fun and learning with Sister Lyn Szymkiewicz, our resident beekeeper.
Together, they took apart a bee box and learned about the function and value of each piece in creating a safe and hospitable home for the hive and its queen. The students considered questions ranging from why pollinators are important for our food system to how bees carry pollen from one plant to another as they tried on the gear needed to protect oneself while caring for the bees.
