A desire to share the charism and participate in the mission of the SNJMs calls me to be an SNJM Associate. Being an SNJM Associate helps me to strengthen my commitment to following Christ and the Gospel. Opportunities to nurture my spiritual life, provide service to others and belong to a community continue to draw me to the SNJM mission. I am especially interested in justice and peace issues of the day and being an SNJM Associate enables me work with others in addressing these issues and serving those impacted by injustices in our society.
