Sister
Act
Carondelet Alums
Are on the Run
The CHS Alumnae Association will
be reaching out to our sisters—and our
Sisters—in southern California, as part of
the Association’s “Sister Act” project that
started a few years ago.
Through Sister Act, the Alumnae
Association invites the School’s alumnae
to communicate with the CSJ Sisters
who live at the Carondelet Center located
adjacent to Mt. St. Mary’s College in Los
Angeles. Alumnae write cards and notes
to the Sisters to help them celebrate feast
days and their birthdays.
Built in 1955, the Carondelet Center
originally housed the Novitiate, Juniorate,
and Provincial Offices for the Los Angeles

Province of the Sisters of St. Joseph of
Carondelet. Today, about 15 retired
Sisters live at the Center, in addition
to about 90 Sisters who need care or
medical assistance, which is provided by
lay staff. In addition, about 20 Sisters
who manage the needs of the Los
Angeles Province (including leadership)
work in various offices at the Center.
Later this year, “Alums on the Run”
will be a new spin-off of Sister Act.
Several Carondelet alums will travel
to Los Angeles to visit with southern
California alums and CSJ Sisters at the
Center. The Alumnae Association will
have its first “regional meeting” in Los
Angeles, and alums who attend will
be invited to spend a fun day together
at Disneyland. While in the area, the
alumnae group will also host a tea party
for the Sisters at the Center, serving tea
and treats and sharing cheer and stories.
After this first regional Alumnae
Association meeting, alumnae director
Mary Goebel Frevele ’75 hopes to
expand Alums on the Run with a
similar outing for alums who live in the
Sacramento area.
Any alums who are interested in
attending a regional meeting—or having
one in their area—are encouraged to
contact Mary, who would also love to
receive any cards, notes, or inquiries for
Sisters who used to teach at Carondelet,
or for any Sisters in residence at the
Carondelet Center. Mary can be reached
at 925/686-5353 extension 155 or by
email at [email protected].
