Respect for human dignity - Our reverence for and commitment to promoting and protecting the dignity of persons

Compassion - An empathetic consciousness of others expressed in caring service
"It is important that we are there for one another, bearing one another's burdens." -- Blessed Mary Angela
Transformation - The process that encourages an open mind and heart, leading to continuous improvement of the person and ministry

Solidarity with People in Need - Ensuring the needs of the poor and vulnerable are met through advocacy and action
Mother Angela gathered children...orphans and the elderly who seemed to be alone and neglected. She gained their confidence and discovered their life stories. The children received an education and the needy learned handicrafts.
Justice and Peace - Forging right relationships, re-creating a sustainable environment, promoting the common good, all in the pursuit of peace
"A community spirit does not just happen of itself. It flows from people who share a common tradition and strive for a common goal outside themselves." -- Blessed Mary Angela
