"Our assignment is not only to make visits but to consistently carry the Spirit into homes, to bless families with the pure love of Christ, to inspire, encourage, lift, and fortify. Every home is in need of additional support. Visiting teachers bring that blessed reinforcement. It is a sacred trust we have been given. We can overcome the obstacles."
-Bonnie D. Parkin, RS General President, 2002-2007

Relief Society Objectives
Both indivitually and collectively sisters of Relief Society make a difference in these six ways:
-Build faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and teach the doctrines of the kingdom (see 2 Nephi 31:20-21; Omni 1:26).
-Emphasize the divine worth of each sister (see D&C 25:2-3, 15-16; Moses 6:9).
-Exercise charity and nuture those in need (see Mosiah 4:26; Moroni 7:46-48).
-Strengthen and protect families (see Mosiah 4:14-15; D&C 130:2).
-Serve and support each sister (see 1 Corinthians 12:13-27).
-Help sisters become full participants in the blessings of the priesthood (see D&C 66:2; 84:35-39; Moses 5:1).
These are the objectives of Relief Society. They show the vastness of its purpose and the breadth of its mission, and they define the sisters, setting them apart from all other associations.
