The Five Facets
of Our Apostolic Mission
“We are going to go out along the roads of the world. We are going to preach the Gospel; we are going to announce the living Jesus Christ… Do not think you come as if on a mere adventure; you come following Christ. This is for those who are interiorly free, for those who abandon everything, for the people of the Gospel.”
— Father Rafael García Herreros
Nuestro carisma se materializa a través de cinco facetas de nuestra misión, cada una de las cuales ofrece una manera particular de traer a Cristo a las realidades de nuestro tiempo. Ya sea mediante la predicación, los medios digitales, las artes, grandes encuentros o el servicio a los necesitados, buscamos dar a conocer el Evangelio, experimentarlo y vivirlo.

Itinerant Preaching
Going where people are to proclaim the living Christ.
We go forth to parishes and communities to offer missions, retreats, conferences, and other opportunities for encounter with Christ. Inspired by His command, “Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15), we embrace a missionary spirit that brings the Good News so that Jesus may be known, loved, and served.
The Media
Bringing the Gospel into our world
The way we communicate shapes how we see the world, search for meaning, and encounter one another. That’s why we meet people where they already are, using the language and tools of our time to open a path to Jesus—wherever you are searching for truth, meaning, and connection.
The Arts
Revealing the beauty of the Gospel through creativity
Beauty can open the heart to the mystery of God. Through music, dance, theater, visual arts, and other creative expressions, including the work of The Belfry School of Arts, we seek to make the invisible realities of faith perceptible and compelling.
Inspired by St. John Paul II’s reflection on art as a path toward the deepest realities of the human person, we use the arts as a means of evangelization and as new “epiphanies” of God’s beauty in our culture.
Massive Events
Creating spaces for encounter, celebration, and faith.
Through large-scale gatherings, Festivals of Art, Musicals, conferences, praise vigils, and other events, we bring people together around the Word of God, prayer, and the celebration of the Liturgy. These moments create joyful spaces where faith can be shared, friendships rooted in Christ can grow, and hearts can be renewed in Him.
Social Development
Encountering Christ in those who are most vulnerable.
The Gospel calls us to recognize the dignity of every person, especially the poor, sick, marginalized, and vulnerable. Through practical service and human development, we seek to serve Christ in those who suffer and to respond to their needs with compassion, dignity, and concrete love.
