"The belief here at St John the Compassionate is the belief that each one is important, whatever their situation. A community can't take in everyone but it can become a sign, a sign that in this broken city there's a place where people believe that love is possible." + Jean Vanier
We say: "If you are willing to share your life with us, we will share ours with you. We will encourage you when you mess up, help you find direction when you are not sure which way to go, hold you when you are hurting, and help you discover, strengthen and focus your gifts and abilities. We are here for the long haul." It is not uncommon for people at St. John the Compassionate Mission to tell us, "You are the closest thing that I have to family." http://www.stjohnsmission.org/
"Prayer, people think, is about words, but prayer is entering the silence of one word unceasingly spoken in our hearts - love." + Fr Roberto Ubertino
