Alive with the joy of the Gospel

Bringing Christ’s love and mercy to people in need

In Africa, South and Central America, Europe and USA

We are an international congregation. We live and work in Brazil, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ireland, Kenya, Liberia, Mexico, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States, and Zambia.

What we do

HEALTH CARE: healing the sick, building healthy communities
EDUCATION: key to human development at all levels
PASTORAL CARE: The Word of God alive in people’s lives
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT: in cities, villages and rural communities
JUSTICE AND PEACE
CARE FOR THE EARTH: loving the planet
REFUGEES: reaching out to street children, fighting against human trafficking
REBUILDING shattered lives after devastation of war and disease
PRAYER is central to our lives. It is God’s work we are doing, not our own. Through prayer and the Eucharist we grow closer to Christ who leads us in our faith, and to Mary our mother.

Moving forward in post-Ebola Liberia

Felicitas and a co-worker work with school children in the Post Ebola affected schools in Voinjama District. They help the children to tell stories, sing, role play, draw, and play.

Loretha teaches English in St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Voinjama. The classes are huge -maybe 70 students per class. She also provides psychosocial support to many students who are facing problems. Teaching is extremely difficult given the lack of resources and equipment needed.
