Our motto is Love in Sacrifice, as on our Crest.  We live in Community striving to make visible the presence of Christ.  We do this by being faithful to our spirit of compassion, faith and trust in Divine Providence.  We count prayer, hospitality and availability as high priorities, and endeavour to make all who come to our Community feel welcome.
