Somascan Fathers and Brothers (C.R.S.)
"I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." Jn14:18
The ministry of the Order of the Somascan Fathers and Brothers is supported by the prayers and financial assistance of many generous men and women throughout the country.
Do you want to be part of our mission? There are a number of ways in which you can support it. The first and most simple method of support is through your daily prayer. Please pray for our religious currently in ministry and in formation, and also for an increase in vocations to priesthood and religious life, especially in our Congregation. Additionally, prayers are asked for our infirm religious who have dedicated many years to the service of their brothers and sisters in the Church.
The Church has entrusted the Order of the Somascan Fathers with the important mission of proclaiming to the world that God is Our Father, through his Son Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, and the example of Saint Jerome Emiliani, Universal Patron Saint of the Orphans. In order that others may share in this Apostolic mission, our Order continually welcomes new members.
