Values Statement Our mission is to live and exemplify the charism of the Annunciation of Mary depicted in the Gospel of Luke for pregnant women (ages 14 and up): by teaching that they are blessed and loved by God showing God's unconditional love for them by providing housing, educational and enrichment opportunities by teaching faith in God's will and plan for their lives.
