SHF Vision Statement—c 1990
As Gleaners, we stand at the edge of society where Christ is encountered in
Word, Silence, and Action, where power of His Kingdom pushes out the
boundaries of our world.
![Page 14: 1 SPONSORSHIP A Presentation for Sisters of the Holy Family June 15, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e2b5503460f94b19972/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

SHF Vision
We will be recognized by our simplicity of life and visible presence among the most abandoned.
Our mission as Gleaners will be to serve segments of the population who are
underserved by Church and social institutions.Our coming together as a community will be
typical of the gathering of disciples around Jesus. Thus, we are open to the power of the Spirit which unifies and empowers us with a
passion for mission.
![Page 15: 1 SPONSORSHIP A Presentation for Sisters of the Holy Family June 15, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e2b5503460f94b19972/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

SHF Vision
The richness of our community life will be the result of our commitment to interact with one another and assume the responsibilities of active participation as we live our common faith and mission. This will be enhanced by our spirit of inclusiveness where individuals,
drawn by the charism, freely choose levels of participation where they live out their commitment as vowed members or
Associates.

SHF Vision
Our position in the world as Gleaners calls our congregation and institutions to a larger social agenda. Toward that end we will network and
collaborate with other congregations, institutions, and others for the purpose of solidarity with, as well as advocacy for the
poor; impacting policy with Gospel values and promoting the values upon which we were
originally established.

Public Juridic Person
Public Juridic Personality Church structure – similar to corporation
in civil law Authorized to act on behalf of the Church

Canon Law
Authorizes PJPs–
dioceses, religious institutes and societies–
to function / to minister
in the name of the Church

Canon Law recognizes
Ministry is Integral to institute’s nature Exercised by approval / mandate of
Church Carried out in communion with the
Church
![Page 53: 1 SPONSORSHIP A Presentation for Sisters of the Holy Family June 15, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e2b5503460f94b19972/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Meaning of PJP Today
Structures that include lay and religious
or laity alone
as sponsors of ministries
historically established, owned,
or operated by religious
![Page 54: 1 SPONSORSHIP A Presentation for Sisters of the Holy Family June 15, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e2b5503460f94b19972/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
This structure “transfers” words from religious institute to another ecclesial entity
• Spiritual patrimony – charism, identity, purpose
• Economic patrimony – works of the apostolate; support of members; administration by treasurers, superiors and councils
![Page 55: 1 SPONSORSHIP A Presentation for Sisters of the Holy Family June 15, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e2b5503460f94b19972/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
Transferring Governing Responsibility
Sale Separate civil incorporation with
reserved rights Transfer of canonical ownership through
creation of a new PJP

56
St. Joseph Health Ministry
Has its own canonical identity–Pontifical Is responsible for Catholic healthcare
ministry Holds reserved rights previously held by
General Council Makes annual report to Rome

57
Why Choose This Model?
Sustains the ministry as Catholic and not-for-profit
Provides for continuing role of Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange
Enlarges the role of lay co-ministers Primarily affects governance, not local
ministry operations

Gerald Arbuckle, SM suggests
It is a prophetic action to identify and bridge the gap between mission of Jesus and contemporary realities
Primary task of Church governance is to maintain order and unity based on sound doctrine
![Page 74: 1 SPONSORSHIP A Presentation for Sisters of the Holy Family June 15, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e2b5503460f94b19972/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
74
Involves discernment of new pastoral initiatives
To be ministry of the Church requires Church approval and accountability
Never a “neat” formula for relationships between hierarchical and prophetic
![Page 75: 1 SPONSORSHIP A Presentation for Sisters of the Holy Family June 15, 2009](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649e2b5503460f94b19972/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)

Everyone involved needs passionate commitment to mission of Jesus Christ, courage, patience, openness to workings of Holy Spirit
Requires formation
