Vision

To glorify God the Father, by reproducing in ourselves the sentiments of the Heart of the Son by the action of the Spirit, continuing in the Church, and for the world Jesus’ saving mission on behalf of the people with psychiatric illness, physical and learning disabilities, with preference for the poor.

Mission

By our charism we are called to witness that the compassionate and merciful Christ in the gospel still lives among us. The hospitality which is our mark is expressed: in personal, fraternal, sincere and gratuitous us love for the sisters in the community; in an attitude of deep kindness and tenderness, and in patient continuous, self-sacrificing and in welcoming with a simple, humble lifestyle, everyone who comes to us.
