To help Catholics fulfill their calling to discipleship, strengthen their relationship with Christ, deepen their commitment to the Church, and contribute to its growth and vitality in the world
CORE VALUES
(guiding conduct and providing a framework for activities)
We strive to imitate Christ, to be faithful to the Catholic Church and its teachings, and to base all our behavior on Christ’s two great commandments: love of God and love of neighbor.
Caring
For those we serve, we provide earnest, loving care.
“He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” – Mt. 22:37-39
Integrity
We fiercely honor our commitments.
“…for we are concerned for what is honorable not only in the sight of the Lord but also in the sight of others.” –2 Cor. 8:21
Adaptable
We are flexible in responding to the needs of others.
“…each looking out not for his own interests, but [also] everyone for those of others.” – Phil. 2:4
Reliable
We can be counted on to do the job right, and admit when we make mistakes.
“Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one. – Mt. 5:37
Focused
We are curious, innovative, and forward-thinkers.
“After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.’” – Lk. 5:4
OSV LEADERS ARE ALIGNED AROUND THE SAME PURPOSE: TO SERVE THE CHURCH
