The mystery and marvel of the Incarnation is the inspiration of the Sisters lives, the focus of our spirituality and the motivation of our mission, our ministry and our service. Our spirituality, in the Ignation tradition, is rooted in the Gospels. Here we discover the person of Jesus Christ, the Word Made Flesh, "to whom our hearts and lives are devoted".

Our Foundress, Frances Taylor, who later became Mother Magdalen, understood the Incarnation, "The Word Made Flesh" as the Father’s greatest gift to humanity. Her response to God’s great love and self giving in the person of Jesus was her own love and self-giving expressed in the service of the poor whom she saw as the companions of Mary and Joseph.

From this flows the central philosophy and ethos of the Congregation, the unique value and inherent dignity of each person as created by God and redeemed by Jesus Christ.

Faithful to the tradition of Frances Taylor whose life of prayer, reflection and discernment was guided by Ignation Spirituality, the Spiritual Excercises of St Ignatius form a big part of our on going spiritual formation and the values that guide and shape our lives.
