This mission of the Visitation today is clearly articulated in the following Focus Statement adopted by our Federation Assembly of 2002. This statement translates our charism of living the gentleness and humility of the heart of Jesus into an idiom that speaks to the needs of the world of the 21st century.

Federation Focus Statement: 2002-2008

We are women immersed in the Gospel who dedicate ourselves to living the gentleness and humility of the heart of Jesus.

We are women of Prayer who, with listening hearts, experience the immensity of God's love in our lives, a love which overflows into the lives of others.

We are women of the church who commit ourselves to comforting the hurting members of Christ's body, to building communities of faith and love, to being a gentle presence in a broken, often violent, but redeemed world.

We Sisters of the Visitation reflect in our lives the embrace of Mary and Elizabeth, listening to the mystery and proclaiming the wonder God's grace. In these holy women, the prophet of justice meets the Prince of peace; they call us to make our own Mary's prophetic song of praise and justice. "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord!"

In the spirit of Jane and Francis, gracious God, we commit ourselves to LOVE YOU NOW with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and with all our strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves!
