The function of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Hyacinthe is to educate the poor and spread Catholicism.

The Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Hyacinthe was founded by Marie Elisabeth Bergeron in 1877 to educate the poor and spread Catholicism. After several unsuccessful attempts to join various Catholic sisterhoods, Bergeron decided to create her own group. The local bishop of St. Hyacinthe, Louis-Zéphrin Moreau, was initially dismissive of Bergeron's plan, but eventually permitted the creation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of St. Hyacinthe in 1877 after Bergeron gathered a significant number of religious women to her cause. During the Residential School System, the Sisters worked at various schools including Assiniboia, Guy Hill, and Fort Frances.
