Our values
When we are good stewards, we use all our resources responsibly, acting with the future in mind. Our people, our finances, our environment and our reputation are all essential to continuing our mission. We must honour them and be creative to ensure we use all our resources wisely to decrease waste, increase effectiveness and build sustainability.

Mother Teresa
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, as smile, a kind word, a listening ear, a honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which He looks compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
St. Teresa of Avila
