«And in accordance with the will of the Church, the intentions of our Founder, and the history of the Congregation, we reaffirm our preferential option - from among all those we are to serve - for those migrants who are more acutely living the drama of migration. (RL 5)

Of itself, the apostolic purpose of our mission impels us to promote the total salvation of the human person. So, besides spiritual assistance, we give the migrants our human, social, and cultural help. We denounce the causes of the evils that afflict them and we struggle to stamp them out while promoting the migrants' fellowship and their participation within the community that welcomes them. We look on the lay people's collaboration in this task as most important, as our Founder taught us from the very beginning». (RL 7)
