Our Charism
When calling St. Francis to a dedicated religious vocation, the Lord said to him, “Francis, go and rebuild my church which, as you see, is falling down." Like Francis, we recognize the need for rebuilding the people of God, the Church, through deep healing and reconciliation. People have been hurt by the Institutional Church's urge to marginalize, reject, and abuse. We strive to serve those wounded by the Church through reparative experiences of acceptance, affirmation, and healing so that their faith can grow and flourish again. Our vows of Simplicity, Fidelity, and Unity lay the foundation for our ministry of repairing.
