As Resurrectionists we recognize and embrace the inherent communal nature of humanity.
One of the Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality is that God calls us to community: “We are social creatures and God calls us out of isolation and individualism to form a Christian community. Each of us brings our unique gifts and talents, as well as our unique experience of God, his grace, and his mercy. Jesus Christ unites us to one another. We need one another. In the ‘Community’ our family and our parish – we share faith, express love, pray and worship, and serve one another.”
In our Resurrectionist Mission Statement we declare “We reach out to all people through our pastoral- educational ministry but especially join in solidarity with people diminished by unjust structures.”
As a Christian community, the Congregation of the Resurrection embraces its role in being the Lord’s hands and feet here on earth, in striving to find ways to be the “refuge of the poor” through our apostolates.
As we approach the 10th World Day of the Poor this Sunday, November 15, 2026, we invite you to read Pope Leo’s message, and to pray for inspiration for how you can also be the Lord’s hands and feet, and offer refuge to the poor.
