The Saint Lazarus Volunteers Corps effectively leverages the Order’s human, monetary and material resources to help promote the ancient and noble order’s historic mission of mercy and care by serving poor, sick, distressed and persecuted people everywhere regardless of their race, religion, or culture. The Auxiliary focuses its efforts on the order’s ancient hospitaller and military roots by supporting the Order’s hospital, hospice, lazar-house and other medical services to fight diseases of the body, soul, and the mind. It sallies forth again, as a militia of servant warriors clad in the shining armor of hope but wielding symbolic swords and spears of justice to battle a growing range of humanitarian crises in a world too often marked by darkness and despair. The Auxiliary seeks fresh ways to provide aid in the Christian spirit of a united brotherhood-sisterhood. It extends the order’s capacity to develop whole community partnerships with other people and groups to achieve its chivalric, charitable and hospitaller goals.
