Mission Statement

Mission Statement 

We, the Sisters of the Visitation of St. Louis,

have come from seven different houses to live in a community

whose primary focus for nearly 173 years has been prayer

and the education of women in the Salesian tradition.

Historically, we have responded to circumstances.

Today, we seek to mold our own future by incorporating

our education and experiences into the contemporary culture so

as to deepen our relationship with God 

and to contribute to the good of our neighbor.

We need courage to risk ongoing renewal 

as a faith community growing in trust in God, 

love of one another, and appreciation of our differences.

As a prayerful community bonded by love and forgiveness,

we search for new life in our charism by living Jesus' compassion.
