Why is MSJC called a “collaborative?”
Why is MSJC called a “collaborative?”
MSJC is one of the first structured partnerships in the US or North America between the Society of Mary, Marianist Sisters, and the Marianist laity. Each has equal representation on the Steering Committee and each supports MSJC financially according to their means. In addition, all of the committees, issues teams and projects of MSJC are open to any member of the Marianist Family and their associates, as well as others who want to be involved in our work. MSJC is accountable to the Marianist Family Council of North America.

Is MSJC concerned about other issues, besides the specific issue teams?
We are keenly aware that there are many social issues calling for urgent and decisive action – abortion, human rights, gun rights, hunger, nuclear weapons, the growing gap between the rich and poor – to name just a few. While we have focused most of our attention on seven current issues, we want to hear and know about your work and involvement. It may lead us to new endeavors. We also recognize that we cannot address issues of injustice in the world around us without at the same time striving to assure justice in our own relationships, in our communities, in our institutions, and in our church.
How can I get involved? What type of time commitment does involvement in MSJC require?
- You can volunteer on one of our issue and project teams. The work of these volunteer teams is a critical component of MSJC and they depend on a commitment of volunteer team members.
- You can make a financial donation to support our continued, and expanding, work.
