We believe that God loves all without distinction and thus, so do we.
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet have always responded to the needs of the times. This year's FUNdrive focuses on three projects that are critical to sisters doing more with their mission and meeting the needs of the world today. Click here to learn more about the FUNdrive and how you can help the Sisters of St. Joseph continue to relieve the world's hunger for spirituality and community, and to provide service to the dear neighbor.
Meet Team Social Justice
Support Systemic Change
Team Captain: Sister Barbara Moore
We are all connected. That’s why it’s not enough to feed the hungry; we must ask why they are hungry, so that we can address it. Asking the “why” is what systemic change requires, because it allows us to fix issues at their root. We keep our eyes on the big picture, addressing problems that deny people their dignity and force those in need to bear the burden of unjust systems.
We build systemic change by serving on boards of directors, by making corporately responsible investments, and by collaborating with others to create new systems that don’t just better today’s situation—they ensure a better tomorrow.
Donating to this team will support systemic change efforts for:
- dismantling racial discrimination
- justice and support for immigrants
- caring for creation
- acceptance of all gender identities
- lifting up the homeless

You can also choose to support one or more of the other two critical projects: Team Retirement and Team Motherhouse.
Meet Sister Barbara
A driven trailblazer, Sister Barbara helped bring about historic change in Selma, Alabama, and marshalled her education and activism to develop programs that promoted self-development and upward mobility.
“Unless we work for systemic change, we will be facing the same problems 50 years from now. It’s ‘both/and.’ The Sisters of St. Joseph provide example through service and lead the way in working to dismantle inequitable systems.”
