We participate in the social mission of the Church, which we see as embracing the many needs of society arising from social, religious, economic, environmental, cultural and civic conditions. By our prayerful presence and commitment to action, we wish to be in the heart of the world.

We try to choose ministries in which we

•  proclaim gospel values to the world;
•  bring people to a greater awareness of and reverence for the presence and activity of the Holy Spirit within themselves and in the world;
•  foster Christian faith, love and service;
•  promote life and reconciliation;
•  affect the transformation of unjust systems and structures;
•  consciously address ourselves to the poor, the oppressed and alienated and thus work to shape a world where each person can live in justice and freedom;
•  alleviate suffering and work for the prevention of social evils;
•  strengthen family life, and promote the welfare of women, children and families.
