"Our apostolate is not only to provide care in up to date homes for the aged, but as religious, it is to bring Christ to every old person under our care." - Mother Angeline Teresa, Foundress
Our values define who we are in carrying out the mission God and His Church entrusted to us:
- Sanctity of Life - Our belief is that we are committed to witness to the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, in that human life is precious and should be preserved whenever possible and that death is the prelude to eternal life.
- Quality of Life - Our belief is that since life is a gift from God, the human person is worthy of respect and dignity in all stages, from conception to death, and entitled to quality in care of the whole person, body, mind and soul.
- Hospitality - Our belief is that each facility should provide the environment and atmosphere of a "home". Personal warmth, love and care will reflect and give value and purpose to the residents' time and length of days.
- Wholistic Care - Our belief is that the concept of total care embraces the physical, social, psychological, spiritual and emotional needs of all residents served regardless of race, national origin, creed, sex, physical handicap, financial or social status.
- Shared Commitment - Our belief is that the quality of operation can be maintained by the combination of religious and lay persons committed to the goals of a Christian community. In providing compassionate care, all of us are accountable to strive for excellence in performance and adherence to professional and regulatory standards.
- Roman Catholic Doctrine - Our belief is to uphold the values and principles inherent in the teachings of Christ and in the medical and moral directives of the Roman Catholic Church as promulgated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
- Social Justice - Our belief is that all who render services within the facility deserve to be treated with respect for their own personal worth and dignity. Those in managerial positions are entrusted with the obligation to provide staff with opportunities for professional and personal achievement and job security through fair compensation and good working conditions based on principles of social justice.
- Christian Witness - Our belief is that we sustain each facility as a viable organization within a pluralistic society fulfilling our social, legislative, and community obligations, and insisting as a matter of conscience, that our expressed moral positions and corporate rights are upheld.
- Redemptive Suffering - Our belief is that the healing ministry encourages all to acknowledge sickness, suffering and death as potential occasions of experiencing God. In these moments we strive to offer hope, healing and comfort.
- Pastoral Care - Our belief is that in the spirit of ecumenism, we respect the religious beliefs of those with whom and to whom we minister, however we uphold our philosophy and mission.
