We are a Society
of Apostolic Life dedicated
to the New Evangelization.

“We model our life on Jesus and His public life. We seek conform ourselves to Him through imitating His itinerancy, His missionary zeal, and His merciful love, so that the very essence of His ministry may touch all those we encounter."

“The community of the Twelve, gathered in unity for the love of Christ, is the model of our common life.”

“Jesus in dialogue with the Father is the master of our prayer. He teaches us, as He taught the Apostles, to listen to the Father and respond to Him. Through grace, we experience our own prayer as a participation in the prayer of Christ

For this reason, we live in the continual and loving presence of God, offering our works to Him and utilizing for our own sanctification those same means which we propose for others.

To foster this, we live in a spirit of recollection and interior silence.”

“Our specific mission demands that we be well-formed and able to form others, capable of comprehending what goes on in people’s lives and offering an opportune response.”

“We fast on bread and water, according to the school of our Blessed Mother. This practice “attracts grace, and repairs and tempers the spirit” (Constitutions, 69). Prayer and fasting, when practiced with a spirit of humility, purify the heart and change the course of events. When a community prays and fasts with faith, things happen, as seen in Scripture: “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit spoke.” (Acts 13:2)
