2023: MSJC Celebrates
Our 25th Year

Twenty-five years ago, MSJC was formed among the three branches of the Marianist Family (SM, FMI and the Laity) as a unique place of connection to keep the fires of justice burning. Over the years, the MSJC has addressed the signs of the times, focusing on national and international issues such as ending sweatshop labor, caring for our environment, and working to eradicate racism. Today, over 70 volunteers advocate and create opportunities for engagement around seven distinct social justice initiatives.
