About Us

Our motto is ‘SINT UNUM’ – May they be one. (Jn. 17:22).

We are inspired by this important prayer of Jesus for all to live in unity in the world.  To this end, our emphasis is to live in a community and have close associations with one another and promote oneness in the world.

“The object of this community is to establish among those who compose it, a truly Christian union so that the desire of Our Lord Jesus Christ so earnestly expressed in this last discourse to his disciples will be accomplished in them; sint unum sicut et nos unum sint John 17:22 and that they may thus enter into the spirit of Christianity, so essentially unifying.”

(1842 Archives Dames St. Louis).

Our life is inspired by Scripture, Eucharist, faith sharing, communal and personal prayer and contemplation; through which we seek a deeper relationship with God, with ourselves and with others. We try to live by:

-       educating ourselves and others

-       developing an open attitude

-       sharing a vision of faith

-       having concern for the environment

-       encouraging peaceful means of reconciliation among ourselves and others

-       promoting justice and peace (working to build God’s kingdom of justice, peace and love)

-       Our special focus at present is to work towards a greater understanding between ourselves and others and to have a deeper respect for all ethnic groups.
