Vision-Mission Statement of the Sisters of Mercy of Holy Cross - Indian Province

Inspired By

The life and teaching of Jesus, who came to give fullness of life to all, and His call to spread the Good News of love, peace, justice and fraternity to all nations, and moved by example and directions of our founders, Fr. Theodosius Florentini and Blessed Maria Theresa Scherer in their:

• unbounded faith and trust in the divine Providence.

• Farsightedness

• unfailing courage to take risks.

• Preferential love for the poor and the underprivileged and challenged by inhuman poverty, massive illiteracy, environmental degradation, gender discrimination, various forms of child abuse, corruption, displacement of the poor, consumerism, fundamentalism, and eroding moral values- our Mission, as compassionate leaders, is to form young women and men of character, who will distinguish themselves by their academic and professional excellence, sound spiritual and moral values, with a holistic growth in their intellectual, emotional, physical and artistic abilities, a spirit of selfless service, and leadership qualities. Thus one will commit oneself to the transformation of the present day social conditions and contribute towards building a just and eco-friendly human society where genuine freedom, equality of opportunities and respect for religions, moral and social values found in the Gospels and enshrined in the contribution of India will prevail.
