JUSTICE
“Action on behalf of justice is constitutive to living the Gospel” (Synod of Bishops, 1971)

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet Congregational Chapter 2001 used the image of the spiral to express the call of the Congregation. At the very heart of our spiral considerations, we discovered communion. Communion suggests that our deepest connections, our rootedness in God and with creation, impel us to share our very selves with the”dear neighbor.”

 
  • COMMUNION WITH CREATION: RELATIONSHIP WITH EARTH
    Our belief that all of life and creation is sacred motivates our urgent concerns for Earth, our home. We will continue to join with others working for systemic changes that will enable all to live in a right relationship with the Earth.

  • COMMUNION WITH THE CHURCH: RIGHT RELATIONSHIP AND JUSTICE
    We commit ourselves to promoting local, diocesan, national and international dialogue regarding a right relationship and justice within the Church.

  • COMMUNION WITH THE “DEAR NEIGHBOR:" COLLECTIVE POWER FOR MISSION
    As a Congregation, we claim our collective power in an age when the righting of relationships is urgent.

As a Province, we are members of the Federation of Sisters of St. Joseph. We work for justice within the framework of the United Nations issues for economy, ecology and equity.

Our UN-NGO representative is Carol Zinn SSJ who can be reached at carolzinn@earthlink.net.
