In our priories, who strive to be centres of prayer and charity, we welcome and accompany people, in particular the youth and the families, we form in the search for the truth, and we evangelise. We seek to be engaged in the evangelical mission of the Church. The apostolates vary according to the needs of the local churches, always emphasizing human and christian formation.

In Spiritual Centres

In a spirit of hospitality we seek to make our priories into lively homes of prayer, charity and an ongoing search for truth. In this way people find in our priories a place where they can encounter Christ and spend quality time with him, just as the beloved disciple did.
An atmosphere of prayer, brotherly kindness, joy, and an emphasis on interiority and simplicity in the Mass, Eucharistic adoration and the Divine Office, all help to create this.

In the Parishes

Parishes are often the first port of call for those discovering or reconnecting with the faith.
Our calling is to enrich the parish’s life of prayer, community and formation, and combines fruitfully with parishes’ mission to evangelise and reach out to those who do not yet know Christ and his Church.

In Marian Shrines

A shrine is a place of a special manifestation of God’s presence, often through his mother Mary.
They naturally become places of prayer. It is a grace for us to serve in shrines and to foster pilgrims’ encounter with Christ through the sacraments, formation and preaching, and a listening ear, offering welcome to all, especially the marginalised.

In Students Chaplaincies

Students are at a key moment in their lives, and are often seeking formation, guidance, and a deeper encounter with Christ, as well as a welcoming community environment. By the nature of our life, we seek to provide these things.
Students often join us in apostolic work or missions to places of need.

In Outreach Missions

Our life of communion with Christ and with each other enables us go into challenging situations where there is particular need for hope, charity and brotherly presence rooted in faith in Christ. As a Province, we have engaged in supporting various projects in Eastern Europe, together with local institutions.
