Through the love of the Father
present in the Sisters of Bon Secours, we are called
by God and sent by the Church

To help people to wholeness;
To alleviate human suffering of all forms
especially in the poor and dying;
To help others to an awareness
of the redemptive meaning
of suffering and death—and to an
awareness of their relationship
with the Father.

By…Reproducing in ourselves
Christ healing…
Christ consoling…
Christ loving…

Christ always aware of the needs of others.
