INITIALS: MJMJ

CHARISM:  In a spirit of simplicity, joy availability and generous self-giving, we  follow Christ, who abandoned himself to the Will of the Father. We strive to reflect his image spreading the Good News of salvation to the poor and most in need with merciful love and compassion.

SPIRITUALITY: Our spirituality is based on the lives of the Holy Family:  Jesus, Mary and Joseph.  Jesus, accepting the Will of the Father, emptied himself, sacrificing his life for the salvation of humanity.  Mary in her humble submission to God’s Will made  her a collaborator with her son in the Redemption of the World.  Joseph accepted his mission of father and protector of the Holy Family in an eloquent attitude of faith and prudence.

MINISTRY: We are an international missionary community.  We serve in areas where we are most needed.  Our ministries include pastoral work,  catechetics and evangelization, family ministry, youth,  abused and neglected children, the elderly, the handicapped, clinics, drug rehabilitation, jail ministry,  missionary activities according to the needs  of the country.
