With a cutting edge to our mission

Marcellin began a prophetic movement, ¹ galvanising the life-energies of hundreds of followers in his day around his charism. This same charism goes on stretching us in our attitudes and works. We are being called to be ever open to the Spirit and to shape our future ever more decisively in accordance with his dynamic vision. ²

The challenges facing us are, firstly, those that confront the young: we have to listen, to question, to research, to pray and to look at our world through their young eyes. We choose not to remain frozen or passive before the "facts" of the social and cultural inequality that characterises all of our societies and is even more stark when viewed globally.

o            We transform our existing structures.

o            We initiate new ventures.

o            We link internationally.

The challenges facing us are, secondly, those that confront us as educators who share Marcellin’s charism. We want our experience to match our rhetoric when we speak about:

o            Our shared mission.

o            Our preference for the least favoured.

o            Our commitment to evangelising through education.
