Collaborative Center for Justice (ccfj.org)
Founded in 1999, the Collaborative Center for Justice was sponsored by six religious congregations of women in Connecticut. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambéry now work with five other religious congregations supporting the Center for Justice: Daughters of the Holy Spirit; Daughters of Mary of the Immaculate Conception;Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame; Sisters of Mercy of the Americans, Northeast Community; and Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.
Rooted in the Gospel and committed to Catholic social teaching, the Center, now run by lay staff, advocates for systemic change and educates individuals about social justice so that we may make a positive difference in the lives of people who are poor and disenfranchised.
The Center advocates and educates on such issues as human rights, economic equality, racism and the plight of immigrants and refugees.
