Building off their 2022 theme of “Radically Transforming Community,” the U.S. Federation of Sisters of St. Joseph brings a three-part series presented by Sr. Griselda Martínez Morales, CSJ. Multiculturalism is an expression of differences and diversities; colors, sounds, movements, cultures, religious expression, words, flavors, geographies, etc. Integrating such diversities into “sacred dances,” “Trinitarian dances,” is the heart of our spirituality and charism.

For the CSSJ Federation and its members, this is an urgent task to identify and learn the skills, virtues and availabilities necessary to live in intercultural communities; with the challenge that this represents for each of us. Communitarianity (Trinitarian relationality) is the challenge of the Gospel that demands conversion, transformation and evolution for all disciples, especially in those institutions that belong to societies of cultures strongly centered on the ego and based on individual rights.
