In
the spirit of St. Francis,
all who come to us are to be treated
with dignity and respect.
No matter what may be their limitation,
race, color or creed,
each one is a masterpiece formed by God.
By
our attitude of acceptance of children as they are, we
strive to provide an atmosphere
where a child can sense that he is loved,
is worthy of love,
and thereby is enabled to blossom
and grow to that fullness of life
for which she was created.
Aware
of God's deep compassion
for the sick and suffering,
we use our talents
confident that God is with us,
and no effort will be lost.
We bring strength to each other
by our mutual support and affirmation.
In
serving our children,
we not only give but we are offered
many opportunities to receive.
As the Lord Himself has said,
"As often as you did it for the
least of my sisters and brothers,
you did it for me." |
