We see God’s spirit in each other.
We have been responding to the urgent and fiery Spirit of our charism since our founding by St. Maria de Mattias in 1834.
Our spirituality is based on the belief that when Jesus died on the cross, his blood poured forth into all of humanity. His death and resurrection give us hope, forgiveness, eternal life, and a sense that we are all interconnected.
We work for social equality, provide pastoral care, offer retreats, and advocate for immigrants, among other ministries.

A Vocation Prayer
Loving God, we pray for all of us preparing to embark on new journeys that we may be filled with grace and love embracing each day.
Loving God, we pray in thanksgiving for all the gifts and talents you have bestowed on each of us and that we will always use them for the greater good.
Loving God, we pray for our restlessness and uneasiness of change so it will be transformed into assurance and faith.
Loving God, we pray for strength and guidance to live your will with our gifts in our ministry, as we journey with others as they discover theirs.
Loving God, we pray for a greater insight to think in new ways, to always trust our instincts, and to have courage to stand up for what we believe in.
Loving God, we commit in your hand our vocation and formation ministry that no matter how far or near each of us are, we will always have a special connection.
May the work we do bring hope, life and insight to all. We trust that You will continue to inspire us and keep a passionate flame burning to journey with others to live their Baptismal call as fully as possible.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Justice, peace, and integrity for all
We feel strongly that social justice is the way to peace in our world. We stand for immigrants, racial justice, the sacredness of life, and the preciousness of our Earth.
