Members of Secular Institutes are men and women that have consecrated their lives to God continuing to live in the world and do their professional activities while sharing the life of the laity.
To stay in the world as a consecrated laywoman means to set ones attention to the current situations of society, to know them, to interpret them and work with them according to God. It means to feel oneself responsible in making the world a better and more human, bringing out the good that exists, liberating the values existing in it and reconciling it with hope. It means "to tune in" to the world and, at the same time, to tune in to God, to be "interpreters", "simultaneous translators" among the people of our time and the Church, the sacrament of Christ..
We are secular consecrated women, living fully in the world.
We are clerks, factory workers, shop assistants, teachers, students, social workers, pensioners...
We want to bring real joy, living every human value and putting our lives to the service of everybody, especially the young and the poor.
Totally for God: Consecration
In our consecration we respond to our God who calls us.
We respond in a conscious, free and cheerful way, offering our lives as a total gift to God with a unity of living out the full mission of the Church and to be
witnesses and prophets of salvation within the world.
Immerged in the world:
Secularity
We want to participate with a great sense of responsibility in the construction of a world according to the Gospel.
This choice of being in the world as leaven is called "secularity".
We live therefore using the means of the world to make the apostolate more effective
sustained by a prayer linked to a life that is reserved accompanied by the friendship of those who share our choice in a style of Salesian life
In the style of Don Bosco: Salesianity
Being salesians means we follow Don Bosco’s spirit and mission
with a style of relationship that has its foundation in the Preventive System
focusing on the needs of the young and the poor. We are aware of God as our Father and of the role of Jesus as our saviour and are sustained in our work by the sacraments of the Church and by the love of Mary, Mother of Jesus, Help of Christians
