• We strive to live in the spirit of St. Francis and Jesus Christ. Through contemplation, we come to a deep love of Jesus Christ and our ongoing conversion enables us to live gospel values. 
  
  Our fraternity in God extends to all creation and enables us to have just and peaceful relationships with everyone and everything. Daily community living impels us to search out a common vision and to embrace death and resurrection experiences as we offer an accepting and supportive presence to one another. 
  
  Called in ministry after the example of our Father Francis and Mother Charitas, we are sent in faith to continue the mission of Jesus. Being attentive to the Spirit within us, we reach out to God's people. 
  
  Realizing our dependence on God and following the poverty of our Lord and our Father Francis, we journey as pilgrims and strangers inwardly free and being joyfully grateful for all that is.
