OUR Covenant

Our Covenant defines our commitments to each other and collectively to God, in how we live out our daily experience as a Missioner. This Covenant serves as a general rule of life, which allows us to be in solidarity with the greater Missioner community, whether we are in proximity to other members or not. The Covenant also reinforces and emphasizes aspects of the Catholic Christian life which are already expectations of the Church for its faithful, such as frequenting the Sacraments, stewardship, prayer and fasting, and charity to one’s neighbor.

OUR PILLARS

​Our four "pillars” shape the essence of our formation and spirituality.

Eucharistic

Understanding the Eucharist to be the "source and summit of Christian life" (CCC 1324).

Charismatic

We believe in and call upon the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, which are "at the service of charity which builds up the Church" (CCC 2003).

Marian

We hold a special devotion to Our Lady, which is "intrinsic to Christian worship" (CCC 971).

Magisterial

We are submitted to the teach authority of the Catholic Church, whose "authority in this matter is exercised in the name of Jesus Christ" (CCC 85).

OUR PATRON SAINTS

The Missioners of Christ have adopted the spirituality proposed by St. Pope John Paul II for the New Evangelization, who stated that we must strive to be "contemplatives in action," an approach which we understand to be a fusion of Carmelite (contemplative) and Ignatian (active). In pursuing and establishing this spirituality, we have sought the intercession of four individuals who exemplified this disposition in their lives:
