Redeemer Ministry Corps
Goal of Program
Redeemer Ministry Corps is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of the Redeemer whose vision is to render assistance and provide a healing presence to vulnerable populations. RMC volunteers participate in this mission, using their gifts and talents in service to others through ministries in health care, elder care, sustainable farming, education and social service, tending to the needs of those who experience aging, terminal illness, sickness, and poverty in all its forms. Volunteers commit to the program's core values of simple living, intentional community, full-time service and spirituality.
