Mission and Values

The mission of the Congregation embodies and expresses the charism of Hospitality

A mission born from a founding charism that remains alive today.

Our mission is to welcome, support, accompany, and care for each person, living and sharing hospitality with respect, professionalism, and closeness, in a comprehensive way that honors their dignity and strengthens their abilities.

We combine science and spirituality to care for health, support families, dignify life, and transform realities.
