The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.
He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor,
to proclaim liberty to captives and new sight to the blind;
to free the oppressed and announce the Lord's year of Mercy."
Luke 4:18-19
As Claretian Missionaries, Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary--priests, brothers and seminarians--we strive to imitate Christ in all ways and follow him by living in community and serving the Gospel. Like our Founder, Saint Anthony Mary Claret, we want to live passionately our commitment to God's Reign of Life, Love, Justice, and Peace for our world today. As was true for our Founder, our Claretian Missionary Martyrs, and the many other courageous missionaries before us, the love of Christ moves us to respond to the needs of the poor with the most urgent, timely and effective means possible.
As servants of life, we are especially called to be an evangelizing presence in our parishes, as well as other diverse and challenging ministries. We attempt to make our partnership with the laity and other religious and Church leaders a liberating sign of Good News for the economically poorest in society, especially recent immigrants, while also forming evangelizing leaders to share in the building of God's Reign.

We Thank you, Father

Send us your Spirit

Gospel witnesses and messengers of the Kingdom. Amen.
