CONGREGATIONAL VISION

Immersed in God's love and compassion for all creation,
we seek a deeper relationship with God
and with each other
as we enter more deeply into the eternal mystery of divine love.

Trusting each other, we aspire to relate to people and to planet earth
in ways that are mutually transforming.

We collaborate with others
and take risks in creating and sustaining a just world
where all people may experience the loving face of God.

IRISH PROVINCE VISION

As members of the Irish Province , we also work towards realizing the Province Chapter 2000 Vision, which states:

As Sisters of St. John of God, rooted in Christ and inspired by our Founders, we live a Gospel lifestyle and respond compassionately to all, especially the materially poor.

We realise our Vision by:

  • Being faithful to our own personal faith journey

  • Nourishing and developing Community

  • Taking steps to:

    • Evaluate our present ministries

    • Discern and respond to 'new' ministries

    • Allocate resources (personnel and material)

    • Collaborate with other agencies

    • Evaluate our own way of living  

In our living out this call, we continue to nurture the "faith-view of life" as "the essential apostolic concern of the Congregation." (Constitutions. 5)
