Community

Moving always toward the profound love of God and love of neighbor without distinction.

Born of the social realities of 17th-century France, the CSJ movement arose from a longing to know and love God in response to the times. Without fanfare, the Sisters wove themselves into everyday life—tending neighbors, returning to the hearth, and sharing what they learned about the transforming power of love.

Now, 375 years later, we continue this way of life by creating pathways into CSJ mission, spirituality, and community. We walk with those discerning Sister membership and association, and we cultivate spaces of learning, connection, and belonging. Rooted in outreach and inclusion, we welcome all who seek a home within the CSJ mission.
