Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph support Bill C-15
The Sisters of St. Joseph have signed on to Faith in the Declaration, an ecumenical coalition in support of Bill C-15.
See the article in the Catholic Register https://www.catholicregister.org/item/33023-canadian-bishops-religious-push-for-passage-of-bill-c-15 . The purpose of Bill C-15 is to begin the process of aligning Canadian law with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
The Federation Office for Systemic Justice has been active in urging parliament to pass Bill C-15.
Our participation is in keeping with the values of our Federation Mission Statement.
United by a common story and charism we, Sisters of St. Joseph of Canada, form a Federation to empower one another in the passionate living of our charism of active and inclusive love.
Urged by God’s spirit, we collaborate with Sisters of St. Joseph globally and respond to the evolving reality of our world, bringing healing and hope to all creation.
