CULTURE OF CARE

OUR CONGREGATIONAL COMMITMENT

We Claretian Missionaries embrace the culture of care as an essential dimension of our evangelizing mission. Inspired by the Gospel and the charism of Saint Anthony Mary Claret, we commit ourselves to promoting safe environments, healthy relationships, and respectful treatment of all people, especially minors and vulnerable adults.

This commitment involves preventing all kinds of abuse—of power, conscience, spiritual, or sexual—putting victims at the center, listening to their voice, and acting with responsibility, transparency, and justice. The culture of care is a way of living, relating, and carrying out mission and authority, and includes clear codes of conduct.
