What is our spirit

Our Spirit St John of God washing Jesus' feet

Following in the spirit of our Founders and our Patron, St John of God, we are women concerned with people and their needs.  We take initiatives, promoting life to the full for all by our hospitality and compassion as we discover creative ways to meet the constantly changing circumstances in today’s world.

The spirit of the Congregation is very much that of our Founders and our Patron. "Down to earth" and "uniquely human" are frequently used by others to describe Sisters of St John of God, as we endeavour to find ways and means to live out the ideals we commit ourselves to by vows.
