Our Mission

IN THE NAME OF JESUS, 
we reach out in compassionate love, 
recognizing the dignity and giftedness 
of each person.

We welcome all as brother and sister. 
Faithful to the Church and to our charism, 
we seek justice, peace and reconciliation, 
especially as we work with 
and in behalf of the poor.

Trusting in Divine Providence, 
we journey in faith and joy, 
sister and servant to all.
