Our goals are the following:

  • To be fired by an energy rooted in prayer
  • To build bonds of relationship and respect among all people
  • To be reverent of the earth and all creation
  • To act as defenders and advocates for the poor and oppressed
  • To be seekers of peace and justice for all
  • To be available wherever we are needed.

             WE LIVE AND WORK TO BRING  ALL INTO UNION WITH GOD AND ONE ANOTHER.
