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.
The Church does not create dialogue between God and man, but she is an on-going sign of its presence, she nourishes it and strengthens it by symbolic acts both at key moments in life and in the fabric of everyday events. One dimension of mission is to set up wit-ness communities throughout the world. Another, the most impor-tant, is to harness our collaboration in helping the on-going action of God to grow in the world and among the peoples.
