Some associates meet regularly in Christian
Growth Groups. Both associates and sisters take responsibility
for coordination and planning of these groups. Currently,
twenty-two groups of associates and sisters meet in these
states:
Delaware
Florida
New
Jersey
North
Carolina
Pennsylvania
Maryland
Christian Growth Groups exist for the purpose of affirming
and supporting our universal call to holiness.
We commit ourselves:
To embrace our common Mission of
Unity and Reconciliation in the daily circumstances
of our lives by developing bonds that link us to God,
one another, our neighbor, and all of creation
To integrate our lived experience with the core spirituality
of the Saint Joseph family
To nurture a faith community in which liturgy, as well
as personal and communal prayer provide opportunities
for renewal and celebration
To encourage actions toward justice by promoting a heightened
consciousness of social realities in relation to our Mission
