Mission
The sisters are consecrated to the service of God and the Church and aspire after perfect charity, following Christ through the practice of the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience, living in community and dedicating ourselves for the love of God to the sick. We fulfill this mission at the bedside of the sick, caring for them diligently and gratuitously, preferably in their own homes. The community's spirituality is to be contemplative in action by a deep prayer life and Eucharistic adoration, loving devotion to Mary, fidelity to the Holy Father and the Church, strong community life and abandonment to Divine Providence.
