Our Vision

The vision of the Foundation is to continue the inspiring works of Mary J. McCormick by bringing the love and “touch” of Jesus Christ to others and to enter into solidarity with the poor.

Currently, there are two organizations in Colombia receiving financial support from the Mary J. McCormick Foundation. These organizations offer services primarily connected to the Foundation's mission of upholding human dignity by serving the needy.

  • Asociación María, located in Barrio Juan XXIII, Bogotá, Colombia
  • Fundación Social María de los Apóstoles, Hermanas del Divino Salvador (Sisters of the Divine Savior, Soacha, Bogotá, Colombia)
