The Mission of Suzanne Aubert was “to care with compassion for the sufferings of Maori and Pakeha, all creeds and none, with regard for the way they thought and felt.”1

CollageAt the centre of this Mission are the Sisters who have chosen to give themselves totally to this Mission by commitment to Religious Life as a Daughter of Our Lady of Compassion. 

“Let us consider ourselves happy to have been selected by God to be the channel of God’s grace to the most abandoned beings, and to be the humble and devoted servants of God’s poor and suffering representatives on earth. What a privilege, and what an honour to be the Daughters of Our Lady of Compassion! And also what obligations that entails! Let us do the work of the Blessed Virgin in serving Jesus poor and abandoned. Let us beg of God to give to every one of us the spirit of our vocation, and the courage and energy to follow it till our last sigh.”2
