Our guiding light and tender Patroness is Our Lady of Banneux, the Virgin of the Poor. She inspires us to live with simplicity, humility, and compassion, shaping the very soul of our congregation.
We choose to remain poor in the eyes of the world, not seeking riches or recognition, but finding our true treasure in Christ and in the love we share with those most in need. The poor and the vulnerable are not just part of our mission—they are our first priority, our joy, and our privilege to serve.
In following Our Lady of Banneux, we embrace a spirit that is gentle yet strong, hidden yet radiant, poor yet rich in grace. This spirit calls us to walk alongside the forgotten, to lift up the broken, and to be living witnesses of God’s mercy.
"I am the Virgin of the Poor. I come to relieve suffering..."
