Congregation
of the Mission
Philippine
Province
VISION-MISSION
STATEMENT
Humbled by the
experience of our personal weakness, community divisiveness and lack of
apostolic direction;
Encouraged by
God’s saving grace, the love of our Vincentian vocation, the affirmation of our
confreres and those whom we serve;
Challenged by the
glaring reality of widespread material and moral poverty of our people, and the
urgent calls of the Church for renewal;
We, the Vincentians of the Philippine Province, with
total trust in God’s love and providence, rooted in Jesus, the evangelizer of
the poor, following the way of St. Vincent de Paul, envision ourselves in the
Church of the poor as a discerning community of disciples.
Under the leading of the Holy Spirit, with Mary as
our model, and in collaboration with our partners, we commit ourselves and our
resources to an inculturated and renewed integral evangelization of the poor,
especially the more abandoned, and to a contextualized formation of the clergy and
the laity.
Hence, each one
of us will renew his prayer life, live a simple lifestyle and be shaped by a
continuing formation that will deepen his love of and commitment to the
Vincentian vocation towards becoming new men.
As new men, guided
by the values and processes of the Basic Ecclesial Communities, we will be
animated by creative ways of praying, strengthened by mutual quality presence
and affirmation, faithful to and directed by community plans towards becoming a
new community.
As new men in a
new community, called to a more visible presence among the poor, we will
revitalize and redirect our existing apostolates and be open to new ministries
in order to be more effective in our work with the poor, the clergy and the
laity towards a new evangelization.
Ours will then be
a province of new men and new communities journeying together towards the
Kingdom.
