Justice
Justice
“Following the example of Jesus and in accord with our founders’ sprit we recognize with clarity the miseries of people throughout the world on both the local and global level. With the Church we affirm that justice is a constitutive element of the Gospel message. Since our mission of unity rests on reconciliation, we proceed by way of mutual consultation and collaboration with the bishops to change the conditions which cause poverty and oppression.” — Sisters of Saint Joseph Constitutions, #22.
“That same spirit will make us search for ways to respond creatively as women of the Church to the developing needs of people, to see what miseries exist and how we might address them ourselves or remedy them in collaboration with others.” — Sisters of Saint Joseph Constitutions, # 26
“Grounded in our Mission: We live and work so that all people may be united with God and with one another.”— Sisters of Saint Joseph Constitutions, # 16.
“Attentive to the urgent needs of Earth and the global community, we will engage with courage and vigilance in personal and public advocacy for systemic change.” — Sisters of Saint Joseph General Chapter 2019 Direction Statement

Prayer
We gather frequently in prayer at our Motherhouse to intercede for those suffering oppression and violence and to consider how and where God calls us to respond. The SSJ Center provides prayers services and promotes opportunities to participate in many gatherings for prayer.
