Our Mission

Las Obras’ mission is to strengthen the health, wellbeing and unity of the Latino Family within Faith-Health partnerships.

A strong health and wellbeing is an integral factor to the unity between the members of the "basic cell of society”, as Pope John Paul II defined families.

Preserving the unity is thus important as the family supplies the natural environment for the growth and well-being of all its members. That is why the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declare the family as the “natural and fundamental group unit of society.”

Through Faith-Health partnerships and collaborations we strengthen families by preventing and reducing the stressors to the family members. Health concerns, debilitating illnesses and lack of resources and knowledge cause undue stresses in the family and do not allow it to function properly and cohesively.

Our Vision:

Las Obras envisions engaged communities where families are united and empowered to meet their physical health, behavioral health and spiritual needs.
