Francis de Sales laid emphasis on the fact that God is the origin and end of human. God created us simply because of His goodness, that we may attain everlasting life and thus be united with Him.

Our Mission & Ministries
“ Go, then my dear daughters, and spread afar, as far as the end of the world… Go and reveal to them, the salvation brought to all men and women by meek and mild Jesus. Go and tell them there is for them as for you a right to human dignity to the respect of all, to the practice of the finest virtues and devotedness. ”
- Fr. Chaumont
