Her Charism:  This creative, daring, innovative, pioneer Sister is called by the Holy Spirit to share in His redemptive mission through serving the poor and neglected.  Under the patronage of  Our Lady of Victory, she strives to mirror her simplicity in all relationships and build communities of love and service by meeting modern needs with modern means.  Like Mary, she is rooted in the Word of God and stands with Jesus for justice and compassion for all.  Her particular spirit is True Devotion – a way of life in which she learns to know Jesus more intimately through dependence on Mary.  Devotion, according to St. Louis de Montfort,  is “All for Jesus through Mary.”
