Core value for February: Compassion

“Compassion is the capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too."

– Frederick Buechner

To reach out to the poorest and most vulnerable members of society – those who are sick or dying or disabled – and to offer them a haven of comfort and care, is compassion in action.

For the hundreds of people who pass through our door every year, this encounter with compassion is one of the few they will ever have.

We urge you also to act with compassion in supporting the Sisters of Nazareth in their work.
