The charism of the Congregation of the Mission is evangelization and service – all embracing service to humanity especially the poor and marginalized. Accordingly, the spirituality “is a participation in the spirit of Christ himself, as proposed by St. Vincent: "He sent me to preach the good news to the poor" (Lk 4:18). Hence, “‘Jesus Christ is the rule of the Mission’ and shall be considered as the center of its life and activity” (SV, XII, 130).The Constitutions & Statutes of the Congregation of the Mission pg.29
