After the example of the first Christian community, we come together to listen to the word of God and to share it, to celebrate the Eucharist and the Prayer of the Divine Office, and so strengthen our family spirit and foster a climate of peace and openness.
A simple lifestyle, close to the poor, sharing with them what we are and what we have, helps to make us a prophetic sign of a new world according to the Gospel.
Truly missionary, our communities are attentive to the life of the
churches and the people we serve.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit, lasting fidelity to our missionary commitment, the witness of celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom, observance of our particular law as our rule of life, we seek to be joyful witnesses among the nations, to the Good News of Jesus Christ, to the faith that is in us, to the
hope that animates us and to the fraternal and liberating power of the Gospel. Members and associates are to uphold high ethical, ecclesial and pastoral standards in their personal lives and ministries.
Units and individuals advance the safeguarding of children and of vulnerable adults in collaboration with the local Church.
We maintain close ties with all who help and support our missionary work, especially with our families and benefactors. They share in our prayers and work.
