A Mass was held followed by a special “Visit with the Sisters” reception.

The team was grateful for this special event to give thanks for the Sisters of the Humility of Mary as such a special community of women. Our rich tradition as a Catholic Health ministry recognizes their legacy and building on their good work is an important part of who we are. Together we celebrated their essential legacy at St. Joseph Warren Hospital and the vital role of the hospital in serving our community for the past 100 years.

We asked Vincent Matthews, Director of Mission at Mercy Health – St Charles Hospital (Toledo, Ohio) , about what our mission means to him. Here’s his heartfelt response:

“Our mission is to extend the compassionate ministry of Jesus… The word compassion, a core value, is committing to be present in suffering. Our mission responds to suffering by meeting a person’s needs with genuine respect, kindness and understanding. Compassion is not just a feeling – it requires action.

The mission means to promote human dignity, life, spirituality, and provide support to people of all faiths, backgrounds, and ethnicities. I uphold the mission by being a compassionate listener and doing everything in my power to help. I believe that every patient deserves the best care, regardless of their life circumstances and resources. I strive to live our mission daily!”

Our society can try to convince us that life is about ourselves. In this “Mission Moment,” it is helpful to be reminded that true happiness flows, not from focus on self, but through the relationships we develop and the purpose of a better world we can pursue together.

At Mercy Health, our Mission extends compassionate care beyond the walls of our hospitals and medical facilities. We are committed to providing good help to those in need no matter the time or the place. We’d like to share encouraging and inspiring quotes on our social media channels. It is our hope that these "Mission Moments" will provide you with encouragement no matter where you are in life. #MissionMoments

God of liberation,
Today we celebrate Juneteenth, commemorating the end of slavery in America. Open our eyes that we might recognize in each other sisters and brothers with a common origin and a shared destiny. May this great celebration of liberty and life inspire us to continue the work of justice and freedom, pursuing and promoting the dignity of all. We pray in the name of God who strengthens us in our quest for love and light. Amen.
