Animated by the fire of charity, “In our concern for human development according to the Gospel principles, we collaborate with others to build a world of greater justice and brotherhood where the freedom and dignity of all will be restored”. (Rule of Life n°10)

Testimonials

“For me, this commitment is a call to fidelity, to remain “a Sister for all”, and to live the charism joyfully, remaining open and attentive to the events that mark our world today.”

“ I consider myself a blessed person to be able to have friendships with so many people. This is the fruit of our charism as Daughters of Jesus to “Honour the Sacred Humanity of the Son of God”. What could be more beautiful than to give oneself body and soul to the Lord when this is one’s vocation?”

“I feel that I have been invited to continue to incarnate the Charism of Humanisation wherever I have been sent, working with young people and in a concrete way in our Santa Teresita Institute. In the words of the Institute motto, I want to : « Work to please Jesus ».”
