On August 2, 2024, about 100 members of CSJ community gathered in the Rauenhorst Ballroom at St Catherine University to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of the founding of the Consociate community.

At the evening’s opening, Carmen Shaughnessy Johnson, one of those first Consociates to commit in 1984, shared a welcome and short blessing. After some food and time for conversation, the six-piece Bee Meyer Band played a mix of songs that had everyone out on the dance floor. It was a wonderful evening of connection, celebration, and fun! Thank you to all who attended, supported, and helped to plan this wonderful event.
