The gathering of the sisters of St. Joseph of Annecy was established by Rev. Fr. Jean Pierre Medaille sj in 1650 at Le Puy, France. St. Joseph's College for Women (Autonomous), a Catholic minority organization, is overseen by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Annecy, France. Fr. Medaille was conceived in 1610 at Carcassonne, France, and was instructed n a jesult school in Toulouse. He joined the Society of Jesus (sj) in 1637 and turned into a minister. The Founder's spirtuality depends on the lessons of St. Ignatius of Loyola who laid a lot of accentuation on interpreting the unqualified Love of God, into influencing the lives of individuals to improve things. Fr. Medaille too expected that the Love of God be conveyed to all individuals paying little respect to their group, statement of faith, race and socio-social foundations.
