Our mission is to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to seek it before all else (cf. Mt 6: 33). We fulfil this mission in community; and our communities are a sign that, in Jesus, God is everything for us. Together we await Christ’s coming in the fullness of his justice so that God may be all in all (cf. 1 Cor 15: 28).<\/em><\/p>\n
Growing in faith, hope and love, we commit ourselves to be a leaven of the Beatitudes at the heart of the world.<\/em><\/p>\n
