MISSION
STATEMENT
As stated in the mission section of our Constitutions:
"Together and as individuals, we pledge ourselves
to the pursuit of justice by making our own the teachings
of the Church and by developing a heightened social consciousness.
We engage in the work for justice in the spirit of unity
and reconciliation."
The Commission for Justice of the Sisters of Saint Joseph
affirms that justice is a constitutive element of the
Gospel message. Responding to the dynamic movement of
the spirit as it manifests itself in the Congregation's
current Chapter documents, the Commission is called to
challenge injustices and foster right relationships. Embracing
its prophetic voice, the Commission is committed to standing
with marginalized persons and living the ecological principles
of a global spirituality.
ROLE DESCRIPTION OF COMMISSION
FOR JUSTICE
The Commission for Justice is a group of Sisters of Saint
Joseph, appointed by the General Council, to be a resource
on social justice issues. The Commission works to engage
the total Congregation in issues that are relevant to
our charism and mission. Through social analysis and other
tools, this group acts as a convener, catalyst and connector,
with the goal of integrating justice into all aspects
of our life and impacting our world.
