PCG Asks: Why Did You Become a Member?

“Our congregation saw this as an opportunity to live out our mission commitment statements by taking the necessary risks to be a healing, compassion presence in our world. Membership in PCG has helped us to make a very concrete commitment to the common good. We see this as an important link to our own community development investments and a way to continue our ministry in this area into the distant future.”
Sister Nora Nash, OSF
Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia

“My community became a Member of PCG because of its long standing commitment and impact in alleviating the conditions that cause ignorance, poverty, suffering and oppression. We are ensuring that our community investing and ministry in low income communities
continues as our ability to directly work in those communities, both
nationally and internationally becomes more constrained.”
Sister Mary Bernadette McNulty, CSJ
Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, Chairperson of PCG Members

“As the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, we commit ourselves to be agents of hope and life, helping others believe that God lives and acts in them and in our world, and to rejoice in God's presence.  We commit ourselves to work with local,
national, and global organizations to address the crying needs of our world.
Partners for the Common Good enables us to join with others in using our
resources to promote economic justice and social change.”

“The De LaSalle Christian Brothers through Christian Brothers Investment Services (CBIS) are founding Members of PCG because it is broadening our commitment to reach out to the marginalized in our society. PCG allows us to collaborate with other investors who not only view faith consistent investing as a dimension of mission, but also are committed to the use of financial resources to
promote justice.”

“The Racine Dominican Community joined as a participant in the Dominican Collaborative membership primarily for two reasons. First, we believe strongly in collaboration and this was a concrete way a number of our Dominican congregations could join our resources to make a difference. Second, we realized that by giving PCG a stable base we were in fact leveraging more resources for the efforts of PCG to assist those without access to capital. The Collaborative provided a way for is to participate by joining with others in a way we couldn’t do alone.”
