The Office of Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation, with over four decades of service, is an enduring expression of our commitment to the Congregation’s mission to unite neighbor with neighbor and neighbor with God.
In 2022, all of us – Associates, Agregees, and vowed Sisters, set a direction for 2022 – 2027:
Rooted in the Gospel
we are challenged to address
our divided church,
the sin of racism,
and the destruction of Earth.
We commit personally and communally,
to listen generously,
to share lovingly,
to engage deeply,
and to collaborate openly
as we strive to be
a healing presence in our world.
Arriving Migrants Statement
The U.S. Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph has released a statement regarding arriving migrants. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Springfield, who are members of CSSJ, support the statement which opposes “the current administration’s continued denigration of those fleeing untenable situations in their home countries through an executive order which will block those seeking asylum in the U.S.”
The statement goes on to say “As women religious, we reject the rhetoric of fear and policy of division that poisons our politics today.”
