Hilfield Vision Statement
In our daily living we aspire to be:
Rooted – we seek to live simply and gratefully, caring for the land that we have been entrusted with.
Christian – following Christ in the way of St Francis we care for the poor and marginalised
of our society and all of creation.
Family – an open and inclusive community that welcomes all people and creation.
