Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Commission for Justice
and our Congregational Commitment to Justice Ministry!
We remember...Chapter 1979 Proposal:
"We propose that the Superior General and Council establish a Commission for Justice...to be a resource of the Superior General and Council, educating them through information and experience, and calling them to an ever greater integration of Gospel justice and congregational policy." (Minutes, Chapter 1979)

Sustainability
“Meeting the needs of this generation without jeopardizing the needs of future generations."
“We will deepen our understanding of the spirituality of the Sisters of Saint Joseph
in relation to both Global Spirituality and consciousness of the Universe.
Through the lens of this understanding, we will focus on specific sustainability issues.
We will make individual and corporate choices that witness to the belief that all is ONE.” (Chapter 2004)
Our commitment to promoting a sustainable future for and beyond our congregation,
compels us to embrace the lens of sustainability, with its focus on the common good,
as the guiding principle for planning." (Strategic Plan 2008)
