In recent years the Sisters of the Holy
Child Jesus have committed ourselves and the ministries sponsored and
endorsed by the Society around the world to
- re-dedicate ourselves
to practical solidarity with marginalized people;
- make our lifestyles an
alternative to consumerism and environmental destruction;
- respond to the crisis
facing our planet;
- oppose forces that exploit
and harm children;
- utilize the full potential
of our educational tradition to be an agent for change;
- further reconciliation
and right relationships wherever possible.
