Do you want to be part of our religious family?
Assess yourself and your motivations with these words of our Founder:
"The one who wants to be one of us must be inflamed with love.
He will have to burn with the desire for his own perfection, for Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church,
with an ardent zeal for the salvation of souls.
He will have to free his heart from any disordered affection for the things of this earth,
and from immoderate attachment to his parents and to the place of his birth;
He must have no desire for profit, but rather regard riches as mud,
in order to seek no other gain than Jesus Christ;
He must have the desire to devote himself only to the service of God and the Church,
either in the Missions or in the other ministries of the Congregation.
He will have to, finally, have the will to persevere to death in fidelity and obedience to the Rules of our Institute”.
