The St. Joseph Community Health Foundation congratulates the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ on electing their 2025 – 2029 Province Leadership Team, which took office following installation at Ancilla Domini Chapel in Donaldson, Indiana, on November 8, 2025.

The St. Joe Foundation was established in 1998 by the Poor Handmaids when they sold St. Joseph Medical Center to continue their ministry of enabling everyone in the community to access health and wellness care. Today, the Foundation is led by a local Board of Directors committed to continuing the legacy of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ and the spirit of Saint Katharina Kasper. The newly elected Leadership Team for 2025 – 2029:

• Sister Shirley Bell, Province Leader
• Sister Deborah Davis, Vicaress and Councilor
• Sister Marybeth Martin, Councilor
• Sister Connie Bach, Councilor
• Sister Margaret Anne Henss, Councilor

The Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ strive to emulate the life of Saint Katharina Kasper of Dernbach, Germany, aiming to create a significant worldwide influence in the ministries they support. Their mission is rooted in upholding social justice, providing compassionate care for the sick and underprivileged, and fostering empowerment among individuals and communities.
