The apostolic Community

58. The very fact that it gives witness to the brotherly love of consecrated people makes the community an evangelising force in the local Church. Moreover, the community provides for its members suitable means for attaining the purpose of the Institute.

The openness the community has for pastoral action leads it to accept as its own the apostolic work of each of its Brothers. They, for their part, whatever may be their occupation, participate fully in the community so that love may be strengthened.

58.1 At the beginning of each year, we examine the apostolic activities of our community to see whether we are true to our mission, and whether we take into account the priorities of the Province and the Founder's preference for those most in need.
