Mission Statement
The Congregation of the Resurrection announces
and gives witness to the Paschal Mystery.
Convinced of God's unconditional love for us,
we herald the liberation and salvation of each person and society
as
a passage from death to life, in which every situation
of evil
and injustice will be overcome.
We call others, especially youth and families,
to communities of the Risen Christ in which faith, hope and
love radiate
as a sign of our union with Christ and his mother,
Mary, in the Church. We are convinced that to do this, our
Congregation must be a model of Christian community in
which people
are one in heart and mind.
We reach out to all people through our pastoral-educational
ministry but, especially join in solidarity with
people diminished by unjust structures.
We assist the laity in their own efforts to become
prophets to the world and to transform it by providing
them with
a deeper experience of the Paschal dynamic in their
lives.
As an international community, we assist each
other in various parts of the world by sharing our ministries,
experiences and resources.
We share Christ's own desire to enkindle the
fire of divine love in the heart of every person on
this earth.
