CHARISM OF MSGR. HERCULANO GONSALVES  OUR FOUNDER

The most common refrain in all the writings of our founder, and in his counsels. is,” to die to self so as to do the will of God alone.” Our Founder experienced in depth the Saving Love of God and that was expressed through compassionate love and justice. Our Charism leads us to the naked cross. We need to die, to become the corpse in order to give life to others. 

CHARISM OF THE HANDMAIDS OF CHRIST

The Handmaid of Christ empowered by the Saving love of God lives in intimate union with him by being broken and shared through the Eucharist. She earnestly seeks the will of God and communion with her Sisters by dying to self in order to promote the Kingdom of God in community and creation, thereby committing herself to reach out in compassion and justice to the poor and the marginalized especially children and women in distress.

VISION STATEMENT

Inspired by Mary’s ‘Yes’ the Handmaids of Christ die to self to reach out in compassionate love to give fuller life to those in need.

MISSION STATEMENT
