Our values that guide our mission



Vision

Living the Gospel in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare, holding fast to God, our Refuge and our Strength.


Mission

We are a community rooted in the Gospel and gifted with the charism of Francis and Clare. Transformed by God’s love and guided by the Spirit, we continue the mission of Jesus wherever we serve, adhering to the words which inspired Mother Francis and Father Bihn: “… whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did to me”. (Matthew 25:40)
Engaged in the struggle for peace and justice, we speak the truth with courage. Cherishing all peoples and all creation as brother and sister, we live in a spirit of hospitality, simplicity and joy, celebrating our dependence on God, who is ever “our Refuge and our Strength.” (Ps.46:2)
