PEOPLE
The Village was made of more than just orange brick, steel, and concrete blocks. It was made of people: children, clergy, and lay staff. They all made personal histories. We bring you articles and interviews with just a small sampling of the people of the Village — their experiences then and what their lives became after they left St. Joseph's. Class photos and personal snapshots capture some memorable "Village moments."

Staff Then & Now
A small sampling of the stories we have about the sisters and lay staff who's dedication and hard work made the Village run 24/7. In fact it was necessary for most of the staff to live on property. [see]
