Our Purpose, Mission & Values

OUR PURPOSE

Forming Hearts That Love and Serve

Canossa Mission Singapore exists to serve people with compassion, dignity, and care, responding where the need is greatest.

We journey with individuals and families through education, holistic care, and coordinated children's development, accompanying people across life stages: in learning, in times of vulnerability, and in moments that call for presence and support.

Guided by shared values and a spirit of service, we work together with our Mission Companions to enable lives of hope, inclusion, and purpose.

OUR VISION & MISSION

Vision and Mission

Vision

A society transformed by love and shared goodness, where every person has the opportunity to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society, and where those who are marginalised experience dignity and care.

Mission

To respond with compassion and care, supporting every person, regardless of age, ability, or circumstance, to live with dignity, grow in confidence and hope, and flourish in life.

Our Values

What shapes how we serve, work together, and walk with others.

Our values are not just statements; they are expressed through daily actions, relationships, and decisions. They guide how we relate to those we walk alongside, to one another as Mission Companions, to our partners, and to the wider community. While our expressions of care may evolve, our purpose and principles remain constant.

Lifelong Formation

We are committed to the continuous growth and formation of every person, nurturing hearts and minds to reach their fullest potential throughout life.

Active Compassion

Compassion is not just a feeling but a call to action. We respond to the needs of others with empathy, presence, and tangible support.

Human Dignity

Every person is created with inherent dignity and worth. We uphold and protect the dignity of all, especially the poor, vulnerable, and marginalised.

Working Well

Excellence in service is a reflection of our love. We strive to work well in all we do, bringing professionalism, integrity, and dedication to our mission.

Radical Generosity

Inspired by St Magdalene of Canossa, we give generously of ourselves: our time, resources, and love, holding nothing back in service of others.

OUR SOCIAL MISSION

The social needs we hold close to our hearts.

Holistic Education

Holistic Education for the Young and Adults

Emphasis on character formation and pastoral care to develop leaders of head and heart among students and adults. This nurturing starts in preschool and continues through secondary school, fostering a desire to serve the Canossian ecosystem even after they leave our schools.

Care for Communities

Care for Marginalised Communities

Social support initiatives assist those in need, ensuring access to resources and services that enhance quality of life. We fill gaps in support for youth with hearing loss, ex-students and staff in need, the elderly in Canossian care, and marginalised communities around our schools, protecting the dignity of individuals and families.

Inspired by the values of the Canossian Sisters, we care for the whole person: mind, heart, body, and spirit.

Commitment to Social Justice

Commitment to Social Justice

Advance social justice by upholding the inherent dignity of every person and creating equitable opportunities for all, regardless of race, religion, or circumstance. We work towards standing in solidarity with the vulnerable, removing barriers and promoting the common good—so that each person may flourish with dignity, purpose, and hope.

ONE MISSION. MANY EXPRESSIONS. ACCOMPANIMENT, ALWAYS.
