Vision
We are a communion of families and a community of persons called
together as one people through a moment o f encounter and a process
of renewal to a relationship of faith, hope, and love with God.
We are reconciled with the Father by our saving faith in Jesus
Christ, renewing trust in the Holy Spirit, and by our uniting
compassion with one another. We are blessed with personal gifts
-- spiritual and natural, innate or acquired -- which we yield
to the Word and the Spirit. We give freely and fully of ourselves,
love and serve one another as we seek and proclaim God's kingdom.
We commit, as disciples of Jesus, to speak the words and do the
deeds of Christ among people and among others to whom we are
called by the Lord.
Charism
We are the Lord's under-shepherds. We will be witnesses to the
Word that others may hear and understand. We will be counselors
with the Spirit, that others may have healing and wholeness.
We will be defenders in Christ of those who suffer injustice
and oppression.
Mission
The Lord calls us to be Servants of the Pilgrim Church, in her
work of a renewed integral evangelization:
- Restoring the family in Christ
- Forming Basic Communities of faith, or Basic Ecclesial Communities
- Strengthening of the parish
- Breaking the yoke of poverty and oppression; and
- Raising an army of prayer warriors for Church and national renewal
Renewed Mission
As a communion of encountered families, we are called by the Lord
to build communities of disciples of Jesus Christ who, empowered
by the Holy Spirit, will renew and strengthen our Christian faithful
through programs of Christian Encounter (Marriage, Family, Solo/Single
Parent, Singles and Youth Encounters, and Life in the Spirit Seminars)
of Spiritual Growth, of Pastoral Care and of Poverty Alleviation.
