How we live
one single mission
make Jesus known and loved
With Jesus
Contemplating the virtues of the Crucified Lord stimulates our love for God as a response to the love of God that is revealed in them and expressed in a human form in our history. The same love contemplated in the Crucified Lord guides our love for our neighbour, not as our own undertaking, but as sharing God’s love for all men, especially the poor. This implies that our love is “imitation in execution,” following the Lord in his dedication to every sister and brother, especially the poorest.
In fraternity
Fraternity is born from the gratuitous love that we contemplate in the Crucified Lord and that we see fully accepted by Mary, Mother of Charity. Our fraternity is the source of the daily vitality that sustains us in the apostolate. Forgiveness and reconciliation generate and regenerate us in fraternity.

Education

Canossian education finds its inspiration and model in the greatest Love, Christ Crucified, who on the cross breathes nothing but charity.
Its objective is the “formation of the heart”, the centre of the whole person.
For Magdalene and for us, education is an action with missionary significance, an expression of the Church’s care for the human person and his/her promotion.
The Canossian educational style harmoniously expresses kindness and firmness, familiarity and respect, generosity and joy.
Evangelization

This is the service that belongs to the whole Church. And we Canossians, as daughters of the Church, collaborate in her mission to go to everyone to announce the Kerygma of the Resurrection of Christ, especially among the poorest.
Saint Magdalene left us a precious legacy: “I recommend you, as much as I can, my beloved poor.”
That is, her heart being identified with her Lord, prefers them and dedicates all her energies to them.
We too want to follow these missionary and apostolic footsteps to “make Jesus known and loved” among families, young people, children, the marginalized, the least.
We serve in parishes, chapels, dispensaries, oratories, schools, hospitals, rural and urban areas… to be the closeness of God’s Love for everyone.
Pastoral care of the sick

The purpose of service to those who suffer, both in the family and in institutions, is to promote the experience of God’s goodness. The inspiring reason for this service is the profound compassion and solidarity that the Lord Jesus lived and proposed to all human suffering.
With the Laity

In our common baptismal vocation, we share with the laity – with whom we work in the Church – the passion for proclaiming the Gospel, the care of the fragile, attention to the poor and the educational and promotional of the youngest.
We nourish apostolic passion and ministerial formation by promoting a mature and collaborative attitude so that everyone finds their way of serving and charity extends. We share with some of them the gift of the Canossian charism, forming a single charismatic family: lay people, religious men and women.
