The spiritual DNA that defines our identity, purpose, and way of life
The Congregation of the Daughters of Mary envisions the establishment of the Kingdom of God, where all people experience the love of God as His children. This is guided by the following vision statements:
To pursue spiritual growth, empowered by our charism and rooted in prayer, contemplation, and service.
To identify and respond to the pressing needs of our communities, offering healing, hope, and holistic development.
Mission in Practice: The mission of St. Joseph's Province is rooted in the Gospel values of simplicity, humility, and service. In fulfilling this mission, the Province is committed to and accountable for:
We respond to the needs of all people by demonstrating compassion in a caring and dignified manner.
By showing respect for all persons and embracing openness, honesty, and directness, we aim to embody and promote the message: "To be pure and poor for the kingdom of God."

We are committed to treating those we serve with dignity, equality, honesty, and fairness. The social ministry seeks to promote and strengthen the teachings of Jesus.
Our values guide and support our mission, grounded in the motto: "To be poor and pure for the kingdom of God."
