Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation

"When shall we have the courage to outgrow the charity mentality and see that at the bottom of all relations between rich and poor there is a problem of justice?" — Dom Helder Camara

As Sisters of Notre Dame, we believe that:

.... Social justice is at the very heart of the Christian call in today's world.

.... The causes of poverty are deeply rooted in unjust social and economic structures.

We, therefore, commit ourselves to deepen our understanding of the systemic causes of poverty and to take action which will benefit poor people. We are committed to this through the Constitutions of the Sisters of Notre Dame which states:

"We work with others to transform unjust structures and systems as we participate in creating new ways of relating which enable all to experience more fully the goodness of God."
