Bio

A Sister of St. Joseph, Sr. Amy Hereford brings decades of diverse ministry experience across education, administration, communications, vocation and formation, and community leadership.

Her interdisciplinary education spans science, communication, theology, civil law, and canon law—a combination that uniquely equips her to guide religious communities and their ministries navigating pivotal decisions about the future of their institutes.

Before transitioning to her current role as an attorney and canonist, Sr. Amy cultivated extensive expertise in teaching, communication, the arts, management, and administration. Today, as a consultant and facilitator, she accompanies religious communities and their ministries throughout the United States and across the globe, helping organizations confront the challenges of an uncertain and rapidly changing landscape. Through her work as a writer, speaker, and advisor, she addresses the technical needs of religious institutes while also exploring the evolving nature of religious life itself.

Sr. Amy is admitted to practice in Missouri and Massachusetts, as well as before the U.S. Tax Court.

Outside of her professional work, she finds joy in gardening, fiber arts, and community living at the Dogtown Ecovillage.
