Justice, Peace, Ecology
The Church strives since its beginning for peace and justice. The Wholeness of Creation was added to these concerns only lately because of its necessity in today’s world. Therefore, these themes are also our priorities as CICM, and we try to implement them wherever we work.
Reflections
Reflection is part of spiritual life. Taking your time to stand still and let your mind wander about your thoughts and actions of the day and to get inspiration from the Bible or other sacred and spiritual literature is essential to living in this world without being caught up in it.
In the Frontline
As CICM missionaries, we love to be at the frontline of society, answer the needs of the people, and see, discern, and act with them. There are many fields in which we are active, such as parish life, education, youth ministry, interreligious dialogue.
Ongoing Formation
Ongoing Formation is an indispensable condition for sustaining oneself. “Ongoing formation is an integral part of our daily lives. It demands a deepening of our spiritual life, an updating of our missionary attitudes and regular study…” (Const., Art. 78).

DAILY INSPIRATION
QUOTEfor Every Two Weeks
“So, I repeat that I want to go slowly but surely, without excitement and without the ostentation of having a big Congregation. But, moreover, I am frightened when I think of the qualities needed to make a good missionary here. Believe me that they are very few and that one must be extremely careful not to have terrible disappointments.”
Xiwanzi, July 15, 1867

Missionhurst
CICM missionaries are prepared to stay, live among the people, share in their privation and participate in the day-to-day effort needed to achieve life-long spiritual and material changes. The North-American bulletin "Missionhurst" tells the stories of these missionaries and seeks to support them in many ways.
