Our Guiding Principles
Priority for the Poor and Vulnerable
We center our efforts on the poor and vulnerable, ensuring that our programs and resources promote their dignity, inclusion, and holistic development.
Dignity of the Human Person
Defending the inherent dignity and the sanctity of the life of humans made in God's image (Gen 1:26-27), regardless of their ethnicity, creed, gender, age, or ability.
Stewardship
The grateful acceptance and responsible use and care of the gifts that God has entrusted to us, ensuring transparency and accountability in all operations.
Justice and Peace
We promote fairness, respect for human rights, and harmonious relationships that foster lasting peace and social cohesion in communities.
Simplicity and Closeness
We live and serve with honesty, humility, and charity—remaining close to the people we serve in critical times, focusing on what truly matters.
Our History
A legacy of service spanning nearly four centuries, rooted in faith and dedicated to the most vulnerable.
