Our Mission and Vocation
The congregation’s work is to participate in an evangelical presence among the urban poor communities. They try to live the mission as Jesus the Good Shepherd, bringing the Good News to the poor, living among them a mission of compassion, human and spiritual uplifting, working for integration of those who are rejected, teaching and announcing salvation of God for all men and women and His love for the poorest of the poor.
Fr. Jean Emile Anizan’s ideal of love, found in the example of Jesus Himself, has three facets. He called it “Our Triple Ideal” of holiness, apostolic fecundity, and the evangelization of the poor. Holiness means following the same path as Christ. This religious family desire God to be the chief relationship in their lives. They have espoused His ambition to awaken the crowds through charity. Apostolic fecundity means wishes to place all our faculties in the service of the Church’s mission. The Sons of Charity wish to let the Spirit of God shape to them the heart of an apostle in the image of Christ, friend of the poor. Their concern is to communicate to them the life of God. Lastly the evangelization of the poor means paying great attention to the “material and spiritual” needs of the people in their neighborhoods, as well as their treasures. It is important for the congregation to bear the face of Christ incarnated, living out God’s life and compassion for those who “live from hand to mouth” in precariousness.
