A Clockwork of Compassion

Volunteers set up St. Joseph Hall for funeral luncheons and celebratory occasions: BVMs Joellen McCarthy (l.) and Linda Roby, Associate Marybeth Coleman, and BVMs Ann Marie Dress and Fran Donnelly are among those who provide hands of service whenever there’s a need.

In the heart of a watch, gears whisper, and each cog is a dancer in the watch’s movement.

Measured, precise, divine.

Spring tighten and uncoil, marking the moments not with cacophony, but with grace.

BVMs are a living clockwork of care, each soul a gear turning for a purpose, not praise. The spring is compassion, would deep by conviction. It sets hands in motion toward hope and helpfulness.

Hearts tick in unity. Minutes are gifts, and hours are hymns of love.

Our core values promote advocacy and invite others to engage in our local and world communities.

It is the small, hidden, unknown acts of love and tenderness that make our BVM life so rich.

The gears are rarely seen, but those tiny actions of love benefit many.
