Justice

We are called to create a more just world for all.

The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and Consociates educate, advocate, and take action to promote justice. Our work is rooted in the gospel call to social justice and the struggle to be prophetic signs of unity in our world.

We are called to live authentically our charism of loving God and neighbor without distinction. The cry of the dear neighbor impels us to go deeper, to journey farther, to respond boldly and creatively. The world is waiting.
