Charism Statement

In union with Mary, Mother of the Church,
we strive to magnify Jesus Christ, her Divine Son, by communicating the Beauty, Goodness, and Truth of the Catholic Faith in a spirit of joyful evangelization, ​through living the fullness of the Church's liturgical life.


In Union with Mary

In all we say and do we endeavor to be Mary's image in the world, her loving heart, her face, her hands and voice, to all our brothers and sisters in Christ. 

At the Heart of the Church

Faithful to our motto, Ex Corde Ecclesiae, we allow ourselves to be formed from the very heart of the Church through the Divine Word, the Sacraments, the prayer of the Sacred Liturgy, and the Magisterium of the Church.

Our Spirituality

Ecclesial

Crossed keys of Saint Peter

We strive in a spirit of filial obedience to study carefully, live faithfully and promote actively the magisterial teaching of the Church.

Eucharistic

The Holy Eucharist, source and summit of the Church's life and mission, is at the heart of our religious life.

Marian

Mostly blank white rectangle on a black background, like a cropped empty image.

As her humble daughters we strive to imitate Our Lady's role in the Church.
