Inspired by the mission of Jesus to proclaim the good news to the poor, liberty to captives, sight to the blind, and to set at liberty those who are oppressed  (LK.4:18-19), we are committed to empowerment of youth, particularly the poor, and all those struggling for justice. It seeks transformation and self-realization of the person at the intellectual, moral and social levels to be able to contribute to the world in its quest for respect for the community of life, longing for just and fraternal relationship, and attaining sustainable overall development.
Brothers witness to the love of Christ in a variety of ways. The Brothers look upon apostolic endeavour as the normal expression of their life of faith and of their religious commitment. As Vita Consecrata acknowledges, “religious brothers provide valuable services of various kinds, inside or outside the community, participating in this way in the mission of proclaiming the Gospel and bearing witness to it with charity in everyday life” (no. 60).
