As consecrated women, we put all of our work and prayer at the service of the Church. We unite ourselves to the Church in our daily Mass and prayer commitments, and work to build it up through our growth in holiness. Our apostolic work seeks to be a sincere and visible offering to the needs of the local parishes and dioceses where we live. Therefore we strive to collaborate with bishops and pastors in the formation of the faithful to become active members of the Church for the transformation of society.

Consecrated women direct and assist in many types of programs, but our fundamental approach is consistent across the board. As the fruit of our programs, we teach youth to have a sense of responsibility for society and for the needs of their local parish.

Theory alone is not enough to teach this sense of social responsibility. Concrete experiences are an essential part of the learning process, and that is why our programs are designed to give young people the experience of responding to needs with positive action. In many cases, this is what the youth enjoy the most: the experience of making a difference is often a reward in itself.

“I really felt that I finally allowed Christ to work through me, and was able to spend more time listening to the needs of others, especially of the teenagers. I’m also glad that I had the opportunity to meet such wonderful people during this mission, and every time I think about this Holy Week mission it makes my heart truly happy and joyful!” – A young missionary.

Our idea of success is seeing young women become highly active in their parish, serve in ministries and bring others back to Church. So many young people put their talents at the service of companies and institutions that have no higher goals than selling products for a profit. In some cases, the best talent is even used to produce programs, music, or shows that unravel family values and darken consciences.

Today more than ever, the Church needs apostles who are able to present the faith to others with love and humility, but also with conviction and competence. It is not enough to know and love the faith; we must also be able to share it so that lives are transformed.

Our goal is to form women who know how to give back, and who have the formation and preparation to do so effectively and intelligently.

Our mission is to make an eternal difference by giving Christ and his Church solid apostles. If you would like to find out more about how you can be part of our mission, contact us:
