Vision Statement

We are men and women who are committed to the ideals of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi.

As St. Francis once addressed the social leaders of his time with the challenge of peace, so today we are called to engage policy makers and world leaders at the United Nations for the work of justice, peace, the care of creation, and the promotion of human rights.
