The first work of the order will be in Christian Formation and direct evangelization.
It is the intention of the foundation to train every friar and sister as a catechist and evangelist so that they will take that missionary spirit with them in all their works. Recognizing the importance of the key areas of pastoral strategy for evangelization in the western world, the foundation has a special concern for strengthening the Christian family, education that passes on Christian values, Christian Education and Formation and direct evangelization.
In addition, the foundation envisions strengthening parishes in the way they pass on and strengthen the faith by placing religious in parish communities.
We can do so little by our works of love, but if we bring our people to Jesus, He can transform lives and families and pour out blessings beyond comprehension.
