– are a Religious Missionary Community
of Women Disciples in an international Congregation, called to share
in the universal mission of God in Jesus, in the dynamism of the Holy
Spirit. Our motto: “May the Holy Triune God live in our hearts and in the hearts of all peoples”, contains in nutshell our Spirituality and Charism. Mission is the origin and purpose of our Congregation. Bearing a universal character to it, sisters from different parts of the world, are called to witness to the Communion of the Triune God, in the diversity of cultures and nationalities. And as missionaries, we are called to embrace all people across cultures and faith traditions. With the worldwide nature of our mission, internationality is essential to our community living. |

As SSpS, we are loved and called by the Triune God from all nations to be a Gospel community, consecrated for Mission through the dynamism of the Holy Spirit, nourished by the Word and the Eucharist and summoned to live the Paschal Mystery. We are hence, constantly challenged To discern the movements of the Spirit individually and as community; To be a compassionate presence of Jesus in his prophetic mission especially in frontier situations; To grow in right relationships in our communities, with others and with all creation; and To reveal the feminine face of God in our world reality.
