Mission: Inspired by the teachings of jesus christ and the witness of our founding dominican sisters, the village provides compassionate care and hope as a healing ministry of the catholic church.

Catherine's committment to the common good. Just as jesus came to make his father known and loved, so the village, through works of mercy, seek to extend this mission.
