Mission

Our aim is to prepare people's hearts to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, as well as to welcome non-Catholic brothers and sisters into full communion.

Our mission is lived and articulated through a variety of apostolates among the poor, particularly among women and children, including house visits, parish and faith formation, education, health care, and social welfare programmes.

The Congregation's vision is that God's people are guided to the Kingdom of God via ever-greater unity and freedom, which are characteristics of God's Children.
