Let us be those who seek Union
by letting ourselves be transformed

Let us insure domestic Tranquility
by radiating the very love of God’s Heart.
May we promote the general Welfare
by glorifying the Heart of Jesus
with the Courage and Confidence
necessary to discover and reveal God’s love.
We commit ourselves
to form a more perfect union
in ourselves
and the blessings of Liberty
for our posterity.
Let us answer God’s call
through our love
and
through our service.
Now and Forever.
