Her Charism:  This gentle, sacrificial, compassionate Sister is a sacrament (sacred sign) of hope for the hopeless, the poor, and the marginalized in large cities.  She joyfully walks with them and lives with them so they know that God is near and that He loves them and will never abandon them.  He is the “architect” of their future.  Through the Holy Eucharist and personal sacrifice she offers herself totally to God, embracing all who society despises and dismisses.  This Sister has a special place in her heart for the unborn, for unwed mothers, orphans, and handicapped children.
