Who We Are
We are a Community of vowed Sisters, lay Associates and Companions. We share in the charism and mission of Divine Compassion with our partners, colleagues, donors, alumni, families, friends, staff, clients and all with whom we minister.

From the very beginning, Divine Compassion has been about the blending of strength and tenderness, community-building and hospitality, empowerment and solidarity, particularly with those who are disadvantaged.

Our Divine Compassion Community’s hallmarks of gentleness, patience, and joy are the gifts of our patron saints, Francis de Sales and Jane Frances de Chantal, who found in these every day virtues the essence of the Divine Compassion.

Our Mission
Empowered by God’s love, we are called to be the compassionate presence of God in the world.

Touched by God’s mercy, we are called to be life-giving women of prayer who respond to the signs of the times by embracing the suffering of others, and bringing God’s healing love to them.

Our Vision
Trusting in Divine Compassion, we seek to be co-creators of God’s evolving universe, healing God’s people, challenging injustice, and offering the gift of hope to our world.

In partnership with our lay Associates and Companions, we are committed to the Gospel and our charism, and are called to enable liberation and empowerment of people, especially women and children, and those marginalized, oppressed and paralyzed by lack of resources. This is our vision that cries out to become a reality. This is our time and Compassion is our gift.

Our Core Values
Our charism of compassion: embracing suffering and brokenness, leading to healing, empowerment, justice and peace.
Right relationships: with our God, ourselves, each other, our world and all creation.
Deepening spirituality and life-long learning: contemplation and authentic dialogue leading to personal and communal transformation.
Creating community: where individual uniqueness and gifts, interdependence and diversity are welcomed and celebrated.
Collaboration: mutuality and respect strengthen relationships for mission and the common good.
