Our Mission Congregation of Religious Tertiary Capuchins of Our Lady of Sorrows (Amigonian Fathers and Brothers) Amigonian Martyrs Delegation in Asia
Mission
WE are committed to follow Christ according to the Gospel; we live in fraternity and are consecrated to God for the Christian education of the youths who are victims and blinded by truth and goodness- youths who are in conflict with the law.
A Child redeemed is a generation saved!
The Origin of Our Mission:
Fr. Luis Amigo started his apostolate with the prisoners and juvenile delinquents. This experience constituted the foundational seed of our Congregation. The sad state of many youths of his time pushed him to think of preventive work in favor of the young. Thus, he conceived our mission. This is our charism, these are his words:
“You my beloved children constituted by Jesus little shepherds of His flock,
are the ones to go after the lost sheep until
you bring them back to the flock of the Good Shepherd”.
The Scope of our Mission:
Our mission is basically directed towards all youths who, in one way or another, have lost the true path of life; those stricken by loneliness and those addicted to drugs and vices; the victims and the outcasts who experience rejection from the mainstream of our society; those who need love, acceptance and understanding, guidance, forgiveness and redemption. Through our Amigonian Pedagogy, they may feel that they are loved and so lift up their minds and open their hearts to a new light and hope.
