Core Values

Humility

Accepting the presence of God in our lives through faith as Mary the mother of Jesus did in

her whole life situations, letting the will of God be done through obedience

Fortitude

The Jesus we accepted will in many cases be a "Needy Jesus". Therefore, we attend to this need with mature courageous love manifested in looking after the sick, children especially under our care.

Self-Denial

In fulfillment of our maternal obligations, we are alert and awake to the people's needs,

ready to alleviate their burdens in all possible ways and caring for their spiritual, intellectual, physical and social needs

Fraternal Charity

Welcoming every person with whom we live and work or whom we come across open heartedly, we keep ourselves free from all kinds of rejection, discrimination or avoidance of people
