SOCIAL APOSTOLATE

Pope Francis says, “The Church has to go forth to everyone without exception. But to whom should she go first? When we read the Gospel, we find a clear indication: not so much our friends and wealthy neighbours, but above all the poor and the sick…” (EG 48). “Charity is at the heart of the Church’s doctrine” (CV 2). It was the wish of our Founder that we be a Congregation of charity. Therefore, according to him zeal for charity is to be at the centre of our spirit, and as missionaries we are to speak the language of charity. In our works of charity, villages and rural areas shall always have a pride of place. While engaged in works of charity, the Missionary Sisters shall provide spiritual service which is an essential element of all social services.

Social apostolate in our Province concentrates on women, girls and children, young at risk, ministry of healing, vocational training centres, education of the poor children and care for the senior citizens.
