Co-Worker

 

The mission of Children of Mary is simple: to quench the Thirst of Jesus to be loved in the Most Blessed Sacrament and to share with EVERYONE the beauty of the Catholic Faith and the astounding reality that God is with us in the Holy Eucharist! Our mission is simple but it isn’t easy! We live in perilous times in which sin is glamorized and truth is ignored; dignity is degraded and life is reduced to instant gratification. We are living in a battle, a fierce battle which requires a deep union with God, an authentic prayer life and the fortitude to seek holiness amidst a “corrupt and depraved generation.”

You are invited to join us as a Co-Worker in this mission. All are welcome – men, women, young and old! Participation can range from simply uniting with us in prayer and adoration to various degrees of sharing in our active ministry which could include teaching Redemptive suffering in nursing homes; house to house evangelization; ministry at the soup kitchen or prisons; promoting Marian consecration; and promoting the love for Love Movement, an initiative responding to the infinite love of Jesus, Our Eucharistic King.
