Our Mission
Saint Francis said...
SERVICE
The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.
HOPE
A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.
COMPASSION
No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.
