Our Work

In the communities in which we serve, we listen to the people to learn what they need. Sometimes, we are their advocates, fighting injustice. Sometimes, we build structure for their education systems. Other times, we are catalysts for social development programs that provide food, clothing and shelter.

We serve as parish priests in marginalized neighborhoods and provide ministries for minority groups. We give voice to immigrants and refugees. Throughout our history, we have walked with the disenfranchised on their life journeys, sharing in their struggles.

The Bible nourishes our lives, so we share the Scriptures with all who wish to study the Good News with us. The bottom line is we proclaim the Word of God, invite others to collaborate with us, care for one another, and prepare the next generation of missionary brothers and priests.
