CARE FOR THE SICK AND NEEDY

Our missionaries bring the mercy of God to the sick, the physically and mentally challenged through health care services at hospitals, counseling, home health care and community integration and related health services. We equally bring spiritual support to the sick, elderly and the dying through prayers and eucharistic services to promote our apostolate of presence. Working with Win-Dream Center for Human Rights and Peace Development, our mission provide support services to the homeless and victims of human trafficking to ensure that they receive deserving justice.

CARE OF IMMIGRANTS

Sanctuary Missionaries draw inspirations from Jesus Christ, who was an immigrant in Egypt and Mary, the Mother of Mercy in providing support to immigrants who have genuine needs for status in the communities where we live. There is no limit to our love, mercy, and sacrifice to the needy. We support thousands of immigrants yearly to gain status, to be transformed and transitioned to win their dreams with the support of our legal collaborators—the Win-Dream International Center for Human Rights and Peace Development.
