We are living in difficult times in which wars, poverty and inequality have come to the fore in global society. It is a situation in which human solidarity is needed more than ever.

Through our care homes and soup kitchens, we witness stories of vulnerability, despair and resilience, which remind us that love for one’s neighbour remains the Gospel’s most authentic response. That is why our mission is more important today than ever before, helping hundreds of people to find much more than just assistance or comfort: they find a family, a listening ear and a home.

At our soup kitchens in Calarcá (Colombia) and Bachaquero (Venezuela), we not only provide a meal, but also offer education and training to all highly vulnerable children. Furthermore, this support also extends to the work we carry out in our care homes, where we support elderly women through care, companionship and a constant presence, which, in turn, reminds them that they are still deeply valued.

However, carrying out this mission is not the sole responsibility of our congregation; it also depends on the generosity of people who selflessly offer their donations, enabling our charism to continue reaching those places where it is most needed.

A journey that needs everyone’s support

If you haven’t already done so, we’d like to invite you to become part of the mission too. There are many ways to do this: either by making a financial contribution via the the following link, or by spreading the word about our work and offering a prayer for it. Every bit of help counts, and every gesture of solidarity makes a difference!

Our founder, Saint Genoveva Torres, taught us that love always finds a way to make itself felt; that is why, today, we want to continue answering that call, walking alongside people who share this dream of continuing to build a world where no one feels alone or in need.
