250 service hours for the 250th Anniversary!

Your group or class can compassionately co-create the future of the U.S.A. Build on the history of our compassionate San Antonio Mission communities in the 1700’s.      

When you win this Compassion Game, all of us win. Register here and get started knowing and serving in San Antonio, a Compassionate City. In 2017, the San Antonio City Council Resolution said that compassion will guide us that we might build justice and equity for all our citizens. We have committed ourselves to sustainability, compassion for the earth.  Your group discusses what kind of country you seek.  “Be the change you want to see” as Gandhi said. What steps can you take towards that?  What leadership skills can you learn in the process?

We are Compassionate Cardinals seeking to be recognized globally as a                                        COMPASSIONATE UNIVERSITY

Let’s learn to be compassionate to ourselves, the root of compassion for others.

Let’s serve. “The best way to find one’s self is to loose one’s self in service to others.”

Let’s unite compassionately linking needs and resources all over our area through our directory.

Let’s delve into Compassion Research like the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkley.

Let’s build relationships joining monthly meetings with global partners interested in compassion—in health, in education, in the arts, in the environment, and more Home: Charter for Compassion.

Let’s participate in CompassionateUSA  growing in compassion for self and others and infusing compassion into systems.

Let’s know that we are not alone, the Charter for Compassion movement is linking over 2 million people.

Remember that in 1776, our original people in the missionary-led towns of Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción de Acuña, Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo, Mission San Juan Capistrano, and Mission San Francisco de la Espada lived the ideal of Acts, sharing their goods and taking care of each other. In Acts 2:44–45, the early believers in Jerusalem “had all things in common” (Acts 2:44) and “sold their possessions and goods, and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need” (Acts 2:45). This practice was part of their communal life in the first days of the church.
