They are involved in daily prayer, daily mass and missionary activities. In the words of Jesus in Lk. 14: 21-23 "Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the town, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame…. Go out to the roads and lanes, and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled" We the sisters strive each day to make a difference to the lives of others. We share our faith with the community, especially the poor, the oppressed and the marginalized.
We work to alleviate suffering, by promoting human dignity and social justice and strive to alleviate poverty. Through prayer and community involvement, and a deep sense of joy we feel in serving others, we accomplish our mission.
Spirituality
As Daughters of Mary, we are consecrated by God the Father to dedicate ourselves to follow Jesus, pure as Mary and poor as St. Francis Assisi (Constitution No. 6). We are inspired by our founder who totally abandoned himself to the providence of God, also by the co-foundress who had deep intimacy with Jesus. The Good news preached by our Lord, the uncompromising fidelity of our Lady, the heroic zeal of the Apostles and the challenging example of St. Francis of Assisi are our patrimony and heritage (Constitution No.9).
Apostolate
Proclamation of the Word of God through visiting the families is the main Apostolate of the Congregation. Besides that, we are engaged in pastoral activities, education and health care mission, social service programmes, vocational training centers, rehabilitation programmes for the aged, handicapped, T.B and leprosy patients and orphans.
