Information

If you had asked me what the meaning of my role within Mission Hospital was when I first started my year of service through the St. Joseph Worker Program of Orange, I would have been left without words. I learned my service site would be at Mission Hospital as a Community Health Advocate halfway through my final semester of college, after meeting a Sister of St. Joseph —Sister Julie—at Xavier University’s Post-Grad Service Fair. I was drawn to the St. Joseph Worker Program because I noticed the CSJ community had a natural yearning for solidarity with the marginalized. Learning of their service opportunities and connecting with Sister Julie made my decision quite simple. While I knew that in one year, I could not solve all of the social justice issues that plague southern California, I did believe that I would be filled with that same spirit of hope and relentless service to the community which I saw in the Sisters of St. Joseph.
