- We consider our lives in the spirit of St. Francis to be our basic ministry and so we do not wish to serve the poor, but to be poor and serve our brothers and sisters.
- In our service we seek not simply to dispense food, clothing
and shelter, rather we seek to build relationships with those we meet, and care for them in as personal and individual a way as is possible for us.
- We wish to make a special effort to serve our sisters and
brothers by sharing in their struggle for justice.
- We seek to help all who come to us grow in their relationship
With God, and to be open to the help they give us to grow in our relationship with God.
- We promise mutual love, respect and accountability to each
Other, and as team, we pledge to remain flexible and open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
- We seek to involve others in our ministry.
- We will support ourselves and our community through our
work and through begging for alms. In begging, we will avoid the security of institutional program funding, and rely instead on the love of the poor in the hearts of individual people.
