Our Spirit and Mission
Our History | Our Community Life | Our Tradition of the Arts

“I have come to cast fire on the earth,
  and how I wish it were already kindled.”
                                                             (Luke 12:49)

This Scripture text inspired the entire life and every action of our foundress Marie-Rose Durocher.
It reminds us that our spirituality
is rooted in the Gospel.
Like Jesus, we are sent to liberate,
to call to wholeness and to be instruments of peace and love.
Disciples like Mary, we are sent to embody in our time the attitudes, actions and words of Jesus.
      (Acts of the 28th General Chapter, 1986)

“We desire God.
    We desire what God desires.
         We desire God’s justice,
             tenderness and communion.”
                            (Acts of the 30th General Chapter, 1996)

Contemplation in action
 is the creative energy at the heart of our mission.
It encourages us to journey together
into the mystery of God
which is revealed in creation,
in the people we meet,
in our times of sacremental celebration and sharing,
in our undertakings for justice,
in the unity which we build among ourselves
and with others.
