“It’s all about the mission for me, ‘loving God and neighbor.’ It’s the greatest commandment and what I have always felt most called.”

“What drew me to the CSJ Community is the Charism of the CSJs, ‘always moving toward profound love of God and dear neighbor without distinction.’ and ‘meeting the needs of the time.’ The CSJs have done so much in this community. I want to help carry their legacy forward.”

“I was and am drawn to the CSJ Community because of the warmth and gentle openness of the people I first encountered and continue to encounter! I’m grateful to be among women religious who are exercising their love muscles by practicing the art and discipline of seeing God in all.”

“My attraction to the CSJ Community is the co-creation opportunity that allows us to participate in God’s plan. My commitment to growing in spiritual wisdom for myself and with others will make this a blessed and sacred union.”

“I firmly believe in the CSJ ideal of moving toward a profound love of God and neighbor without distinction. I want to surround myself with like minded people who see the Christ in everyone. There is a spiritual energy that is felt when I am in the presence of the CSJ sisters and Consociates.”
