In the spirit of Saints Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac and Elizabeth Ann Seton, we strive to make relationships right with creation, society, government, corporations and systems so as to empower people who are poor. Our goal is that all might receive according to their need and have equal voice to participate in society.
