Spirituality at Mustard Seed Communities

At Mustard Seed Communities, spirituality stands as a cornerstone, permeating the lives of residents, staff, and volunteers alike. Our Catholic faith is a guiding force that intricately weaves through every aspect of our activities. This spiritual foundation, as symbolized in our logo, not only nurtures the well-being of individuals but also serves as a compass, directing the development and ensuring the enduring vitality of our organization. It is in this shared spirituality that Mustard Seed Communities finds strength, purpose, and a profound connection that transcends every endeavor we undertake.

He is Here — Thank You Lord

Mustard Seed Communities is built upon a spiritual foundation and is sustained by spiritual nourishment – particularly the Holy Eucharist. Central to the charism of this ministry is Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, recognizing that Jesus Christ is ever-present in our daily life and work, and at the same time expressing gratitude for His invitation, gifts, and blessings. As such, the constant themes which embrace MSC’s Christ-centered life are “He is Here” and “Thank You Lord”.

MSC Verse

Then Jesus asked, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that someone took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.” — Luke 13:18-19
