Our Blue Community program reflects the Congregations of St. Joseph’s (CSJ)
charism of unity and reconciliation. We honour our responsibilities to protect water as a human right, shared commons, and sacred gift.
Through reflection, education, advocacy, and service, this program centers and strengthens our respectful relations to all the waters circulating our common home.
