Our Mission & Objective PDF Print E-mail

We are a community of consecrated women called to spread the message of the Gospel through a dynamic evangelization.  Akin in spirituality to the Companions of the Cross, we live this message in our everyday life as Fr. Bob Bedard, our Spiritual Father envisions.  We stand on four pillars: being faithful to the Eucharist, being open to the Holy Spirit, being devoted to Our Lady, and being loyal to the Church’s Magisterium.

THE HEART OF OUR MISSION - EVANGELIZATION

What is Evangelization?  The challenge of a dynamic evangelization is two-fold.  First, it requires our decision to say ‘yes’ to being in relationship with Jesus.  The second challenge flows from the first.  When we say ‘yes’ the decision must be to commit daily to a relationship that is personal.  Fr. Bob speaks of this same commitment:

The gospel is something I must choose to follow.  It is not meant simply to be listened to and admired.  It is not something primarily to study or talk about.  I must do more than consider it.  I must answer the call of the gospel with a resounding ‘yes’.  I must embrace it with my whole being.


I must be clear about the choice I make when I decide to accept the Lord’s call to life.  It involves making Jesus the Lord of my life and entering thereby into a personal relationship with him.  I begin to know him in a deeper and more intimate way.

Evangelization, therefore, is the process whereby a person hears the gospel, embraces it fully, makes Jesus Lord of his life and gets involved in a lively, intimate and ongoing relationship with him.

- Fr. Bob Bedard, Evangelization, A Challenge for the Catholic Church, 1997.

We give our total surrender to Jesus Christ.  This surrender unites us to the will of the Father, to the sacrifice of the Son, and to the power and wisdom of the Holy Spirit.  With our eyes fixed on Jesus as our path, evangelization will flow directly from our community life, the way we live, into our ministry.
