Our Apostolates
Three Forms of Evangelization
Journeying into remote communities to teach Catholic doctrine, prepare the uncatechized for sacraments, and build lasting Christian faith where it is weak or absent.
Reaching stray, abandoned, or at-risk youth with practical, patient love — offering moral formation, mentorship, education, skills training, and guidance toward honest livelihood.
Visiting the sick, elderly, widows, orphans, and ostracized — bringing material comfort, companionship, prayer, and the consolation of Christ's presence to those forgotten by society.
Our Spirituality & Charism
Love and Total Surrender to God's Perfect Will
Our spirituality is deeply Trinitarian, Marian in devotion to the Rosary, and centered on cheerful surrender to God's will, in imitation of Christ's self-giving service to the poor.
Total Reliance on Divine Providence
We trust completely in God's care as we serve the poorest, believing He provides for our needs and those we serve.
Practical Love of God in Action
Our faith is lived out through direct service — showing God's love through concrete works of mercy to the suffering poor, stray youth, and marginalized.
