Always ready to minister joyfully and remaining faithful to our littleness we carry the good news to all God’s people especially the elderly, poor, sick and the abandoned.

Our missionary spirit and charism is expressed in the constant and universal promotion of peace and good. As Franciscan Missionaries of the Sacred Heart our diverse ministries reflect the redemptive love of Christ and His divine plan.

In our ministries we walk in the footsteps of St. Francis who followed Christ by bowing before the suffering lepers.

As peacemakers and in communion with all of creation we bring a true Franciscan spirit of compassion and hope to all we do and those we serve.

"It is not enough to discover Christ -you must bring Him to others!”
Pope John Paul II
