Mission Statement:

To be responsive and committed channels of God's mercy in the spirit of saints Francis and Clare

Vision 2010:

"Responsive and committed channels of God's Mercy"

In response to the faults, imperfections, and brokenness of our world and ourselves, we are professing Christians, committed as brothers and sisters in the Mercy of God Community. Following in the footsteps of Saint Francis and Saint Clare and rooted in prayer, we promise to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ as prophets, peacemakers and healers. As a radical Christian community we believe that all people, without exception, are our neighbors deserving our love and respect. We are ecumenical and inclusive. We worship according to diverse traditions. We joyfully welcome and witness to God's mercy, share it among one another and with everyone, especially the marginalized. This is our corporate ministry. We enjoy mutual support, encouragement and guidance as we strive to meet the challenges and demands of this way of life.
