For the love of Christ constrains us (2 Cor 5:14)
The Missionaries of St. Charles - Scalabrinians - are men called to follow Jesus Christ more closely through the evangelical vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. They live their consecration to God in a community of fraternal life and accompany the migrants, to whom they have been sent to proclaim to them - especially to the least - the mystery of salvation.
The Final Document of the 13th General Chapter
Faithful to God's plan and in communion with the local Church, in the next six years we commit ourselves to giving new life and a renewed missionary fervor to our religious consecration at the service of those who more dramatically live the phenomenon of human mobility.
It is crucial, then, that we give the required emphasis to spiritual and community life and we focus on specific training in view of the multiplicity and variety of specialized tasks which the Congregation takes upon itself in keeping with the prophetic character of its Charism.
In cooperation with other "partners", particularly with the laity, our mission leads us towards the full development of the human person.
