We are members of an international group
of Catholic vowed women and Associate women and men who are dedicated to the
service of others, especially the poor and disenfranchised. We work in many
countries and in various professions and ministries, but always with the
mission to alleviate suffering, ignorance and poverty. As people in the New
Millennium we carry the fire of Marie Rose Durocher, our Foundress, amid the
cares and questions of our times. The living flame of our mission is our
response to these words of Jesus:
"I have come to cast fire on the
earth. How I wish that fire were blazing."
Luke 12:49
