The Heritage Room
A large wall mural highlights our Congregation’s beginnings in LePuy and Lyons France, Saint Louis, Philadelphia, McSherrystown, and Chestnut Hill. This brief overview of Congregational history is complemented by archival records and artifacts displayed in wall and floor cases.

Neumann Room
Saint John Neumann, CSSR, Bishop of Philadelphia from 1852 to 1860, was a friend and benefactor of the Sisters of Saint Joseph. He recommended the Chestnut Hill site to Mother Saint John Fournier and celebrated the first Mass on the table to the right in the front parlor, now the Neumann Room, on August 21, 1858. 

Mount Saint Joseph Academy Room
Mount Saint Joseph Academy was established by our sisters six weeks after their arrival on August 16, 1858. This outstanding educational institution has evolved from its modest beginnings in the parlors of Monticello to its present Flourtown, PA site. 

Fontbonne Room
After the French Revolution, Mother Saint John Fontbonne, re-founded the Lyon branch of the Sisters of Saint Joseph and sent sister-missionaries to the United States in 1836. The first foundation in the United States was at Carondelet, St. Louis, Missouri. The Fontbonne Room is dedicated to the memory of this courageous woman.
