Missionary Vocation

Which choice of life that attracts you the most?

“The missionary,” wrote Saint Conforti, “is the finest and most splendid example of the ideal life. In spirit, the missionary has contemplated Jesus Christ commissioning the apostles to conquer the world, not by weapons but by persuasion and love; and the missionary has been captivated by this encounter with Christ. For this ideal cause, the missionary gives up family, homeland, all that he treasures as his very own.”

Our Mission

The Xaverians receive their mission from God who calls them through the and within the Church to the world so that more and more people come to know Him. That is articulated in the profession of religious vows and priesthood ordination. The Xaverians help to the new Christian community by proclaiming and teaching the virtues of the Gospel, giving advice and leadership to the Christian community and celebrating the holy sacraments with them especially the holy Eucharist

Xaverian’s Way

In their ministry, the Xaverians are always ready to adapt to new situations, to face new challenges, and are available to get to know new people. In doing so, they live their call in joy and fulfillments as people are touched by their witness. They are called as gifts to the Christians communities and the symbol of unity Witnesses and people close to God and know the needs of the community.
