Focus on Issues
As Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet and Associates, we respond collectively and individually to God's call to justice by:
- committing ourselves to peaceful non-violence.
- seeking right relationships within community, with the dear neighbor and with all creation.
- informing ourselves and others on the issues.
- praying and acting on unjust systems at the local, national and global levels.
Some of the issues the St. Louis Province collectively focuses on are:
- Abolition of the death penalty
- Immigration issues
- Equality among genders and races
- Responsible investing/corporate responsibility
- Eco-justice
- Doe Run Refinery heavy metal contamination in La Oroyo, Peru
For more information on these and other issues of social justice contact Justice Coordinator Associate Diana Oleskevich, 314-678-0317.
