The whole Congregation of the Mission goes on a Mission
Last year, all the members of the Congregation of the Mission began their three years’ spiritual preparation, what we might call “ad intra” preparation for the upcoming 400th Anniversary of its Foundation, next year, 2025. To accompany our spiritual preparation, I would like to announce and launch today, for the whole Congregation, a so-called “ad extra” preparation for our 400th Anniversary.
MISSION APPEAL LETTER
Since 2019, when we had the grace of meeting Pope Francis and promising him that the Little Company would do all in its power to send 1% of its members (30 confreres) to the missions ad Gentes every year, so far, by Jesus mercy, we have been able to fulfill the promise.

During this three-year interior pilgrimage, taken on by each one of us through different initiatives, prepared materials shared with the whole Congregation, and the personal inventiveness of each province, vice-province, and region, we will be focusing, in the first place, on our own personal renewal and conversion, so that, fully revitalized in our spiritual life, each one of us and the whole Little Company will arrive at a new Pentecost!
