We are a missionary family, founded in 1703. We live the Gospel in response to the changing needs of contemporary culture, building community in parts of the world that are often neglected.
Committed to respectful evangelization, by our witness and service, we introduce people to the Holy Gospel and God’s love for them.
Nearly 3,000 Spiritans serve in over sixty countries on six continents – in Europe, Africa, North and South America, Asia and Oceania.
Stay quiet and allow God to do what he wants. Never seek to advance further than he wishes you to do. Be content to aim at a total self denial in all things and to have only one ambition: to live for God alone. Then simply wait for him to give you what he judges to be needful. Do not tell him what to do and do not prescribe anything for yourself.
