Spirit
The Spirit of the Lay Missionaries of Charity is one of total abandonment to God's holy will, child-like trust in His Fatherly care and readiness for service in profound humility after the example of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
Aim
The Aim of the Lay Missionaries of Charity is to quench the infinite thirst of Jesus on the Cross and in the Eucharist, for love and for souls, by means of the annual profession for the four private vows according to the Statutes (canon 1192).
Special Mission
The Special Mission of the Lay Missionaries of Charity is to work for the salvation and santification of the members of their own families and of the poorest of the poor of the whole world.
Formation
Formation begins with a two year discernment process that invovles studying the LMC statues, as well as reading and discussing the letters from Fr. Sebastian Vazhakala, M.C.. At the end of the two-year period, vows are professed annually and formation continues.
Meetings
The LMC Spring Community meets weekly at St. Ignatius of Loyola parish for community prayer in Adoration, formation, and to live out their commitment of service to the poorest of the poor. They meet monthly for Evening Prayers with the Missionary of Chairty Sisters.
