The Founder kept in mind the whole Church in her work of evangelization, service and loving presence among all people. The Congregation takes advantage of all the opportune means available to increase, defend and diffuse the Christian faith, but it gives priority to those works which, according to the circumstances of time and place, tend in the most direct wayto reawaken people's awareness of their baptismal vocation and their apostolic responsibility." (Constitutions, # 4)

realizing first that our own call is to become living images of God's love;

recognizing and affirming the image of God in all people;

living our profession of the evangelical counsels and

committing ourselves to lives of apostolic service and community life;

seeking to awaken all Christians to their apostolic call;

by inviting everyone to respond to God's Infinite Love

through lives of holiness and service;

using all means especially the personal gifts of nature and grace

to revive faith, rekindle charity and foster unity among all people.

Placed by our Founder under the patronage of Mary, Queen of Apostles, we are confident of her intercession and guidance as we carry out this mission in our daily lives.
