OUR VALUES

Person: We value each child, family, community, in all areas of our daily work. The serenity of our work is manifested when we give the best of ourselves to the people with whom we share tasks. This commitment of good moves us to support and comfort each other, to grow and transcend.

Responsibility: It guides us in our work and moves us to work well and to the maximum of our talents and resources. Being responsible encourages us to be coherent and consistent with our decisions and our actions. The sense of responsibility questions us and pushes us not to be indifferent to a complex reality that demands a complex response.

Territoriality: It is an option to value what we are, what we have and the space where we live. It is a task in which every contribution is a resource that we must put at the service of all. Territoriality is to assume the utopia of building the place we dream of for everyone.

Solidarity: It is to go out to meet the other, day by day, to feel with each person, to walk together to build the common good. We cannot be happy as long as inequity, injustice, individualism and selfishness structure and give meaning to daily relationships.

Commitment: That which energizes our actions is not fear, fame, interest or power, but passion for human beings and life. Dynamic passion that drives us to face the present with serenity and optimism; and to assume it as an opportunity, as a demand.

A pro-life response: Our goal is to contribute to the construction of a world in which we can all live fully. Our ethics is the search for good through honest and silent work.

 Sobriety: Enjoying doing without showing off, putting the heart and action in what is really important.
