Charism
Our Mission
We Sisters of St. Martha, inspired by God's graciousness, hear, embrace and respond to the cry for Gospel Hospitality.
Our Vision
We Sisters of St. Martha, embraced in the Mystery of God, are empowered to move creatively into the future. We live the prophetic dimension of our vocation as grace for our time. We aspire to live hospitality in a spirit of welcome to the reality of our lives and to our interdependence with all creation. Out of our emerging consciousness of the signs of the times, we are inspired to set free our charism, risking for the sake of the Gospel. Led by the Spirit of the Risen Jesus, we step into the future as women of undaunted hope.(Chapter 2004)
