From Our Founder

Our organization inescapably (and willingly) gets involved in the various problems of the Church in which the laity have a responsibility-in areas such as sex education, catechetics, etc. But all we are and all we do is based on the primacy of the spiritual, on the “better part” of a genuine, inner spiritual renewal, and on the belief that for all soldiers of Christ the first and constant battlefield must be our own hearts.
