2022: A Year in Review

“Service without reflection is just work.”

When our team retreated in January of 2022, we talked about vision and values. Part of that discussion was learning more about the history of GRACE and our Vincentian roots, including values like dignity, compassion, solidarity, and justice.

We also talked about reflection. Our workload keeps us busy, but we all believe strongly in creating pauses, moments of rest, and time to reflect on our work: celebrating wins, big or small; learning from our experiences, good or bad; and finding ways to improve and better serve our communities.

Our 2022 Year in Review is a short publication created in reflection on the past year and highlighting what our team was able to accomplish. We are very proud to share it with you now!
