Sisters of Saint Joseph raise
their voices to proclaim a vision
of unity in response to situations
and conditions which threaten our global community. We want to
share with you our views about
some important issues.

The vision of the Sisters of Saint Joseph is based in the love of God and neighbor - the desire for union with God, the love and union with every kind of neighbor without distinction, and the union of neighbor with God and one another. This creates a circle of relationships which leads to a vision of a community, human and non-human, in a whole Earth within a glorious universe.

If all is one then violence, injustice, oppression, greed and hatred are not in the realm of one's thought and action. To harm another is to harm all - to harm oneself - to lose sight of the God whose creative love sustains everything.

To bring about this unity Sisters of Saint Joseph work individually and together, joining with national and international groups to alleviate the conditions which cause poverty, suffering and oppression. We raise our voices to proclaim a vision of unity in response to situations and conditions which threaten our life together as a global community. Federation justice coordinators meet annually.

We are linked to NETWORK, A National Catholic Social Justice Lobby, which educates, lobbies and organizes to influence the formation of federal legislation to promote economic and social justice. NETWORKS lobbyists, S. Catherine Pinkerton, CSJ, (Cleveland) and S. Mary Elizabeth Clark, SSJ (Philadelphia) have expanded our justice-making capacity in promoting this prophetic and persistent voice for justice on Capitol Hill.
