Mokhotlong (St. Joseph's Convent)

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
The regional house (head-office of the Sisters of Saint Joseph in Lesotho) is around 300 metres from the St. Peter's mission, as one heads towards the mountains. St. Joseph's is built on a rise and overlooks all the other buildings in Mokhotlong Camp.

FOUNDING
The sisters of the region were in need of a place for their administration office and of a residence where their elderly sisters would reside. The government of Lesotho turned a piece of land over to them and the construction of the building which would serve these two purposes was started in October 1982. The building was completed in 1985.

FOUNDERS

Sister Rosalia Silase

AREAS OF COMMITMENT
