Mission
We are a community of priests and brothers consecrated completely to Jesus Christ, in radical poverty, chastity, and obedience. In communion with the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, we are inspired to live the Gospel through the evangelical poverty of St. Francis of Assisi and the apostolic formation of St. Ignatius Loyola. In praise, reverence, and service of God, we commit to a life of regular prayer, generous penance, Eucharistic adoration, Marian devotion, and Charismatic worship.
With zeal for a new evangelization, we desire to help souls respond to Jesus by means of preaching, teaching, spiritual exercises, administration of the sacraments, and assistance to the poor. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we commit to a new Pentecost through ongoing personal and communal renewal. We wholeheartedly submit ourselves completely to our Holy Father and his successors, and the bishops of the Roman Catholic Church. Under the protection of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we beg God for the grace to leave ourselves behind and to go forth to spread the Word wherever we go, for the greater glory of God.
