At this October’s Community Assembly we explore how to strengthen our relationships in community and how we can go out of our way to draw others in—all with an eye towards our new future.

The Community Assembly will be the last opportunity to contribute to the Carondelet Congregation’s collection for hurricane relief. Donations will support Catholic Charities efforts in both North Carolina and Florida. Cash or check payable to Sisters of St. Joseph with Hurricane Relief in the memo line.

Planning for Future Assemblies

The Community Assembly Planning Committee (CAPC) meets monthly to plan future assemblies and coordinate with the commissions and Acts of Chapter. If you are interested, please let us know you would like to help us plan future assemblies. You can reach us with any ideas or concerns by emailing csjassembly@googlegroups.com.

We have also put together these forms to welcome specific ideas:

CAPC members consist of one Sister or Consociate representing each of the following groups: the Ministry Commission, the Relationship and Association Commission, the Justice Commission, and Acts of Chapter. In addition three at-large members are invited to serve from any of those welcome to attend Community Assembly, including Sisters, Consociates, Friends of St. Joseph, St. Joseph Workers, and Partners in Mission.

Vision and Purpose

Vision: The Community Assembly gathers people who share the passion for justice and spirituality of loving God and neighbor without distinction and continue the mission of Jesus in the world today.

Purpose: the Community Assembly promotes new ways of engaging with each other, partners, experts, and those directly impacted by social injustices in order to:

  • Develop and strengthen relationships among persons who intentionally live the CSJ mission;
  • Understand and support the unique ways individuals and groups are living the mission;
  • Engage in significant dialogue around the acts of chapter
  • Educate ourselves about emerging needs and resources, and
  • Take action for justice and ministry within our local communities and larger world.
