The CSJ Center for Reconciliation and Justice offers a forum for dialogue, a place of education, and a resource for reflective action to promote unity among all persons and with God. The CSJ Center gives tangible witness to the presence and tradition of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange at Loyola Marymount University, and in a wounded world in need of compassion and healing.
The CSJ Center fulfills this mission by developing opportunities and providing resources for faculty, staff and students, to reflect, collaborate, and act on issues of justice pertinent to their particular fields of study and scholarship.
Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, abbreviated CSJ, were established in 1912 by Mother Bernard Gosselin. Their ministries include healthcare, education, retreat ministry, spiritual direction and pastoral ministry. With the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary, the Sisters are one of the founding and sponsoring religious orders of Loyola Marymount University. Learn more »
