The mission of the Catechists involves:

• spreading the prayer of the "Adoration of Jesus Crucified";

• participation in evangelization, normally in a parish setting, by means of catechesis and testimony;

• education of mankind emphasis on the family;

• evangelization of culture and inculturation of the faith;

• ecumenical and interreligious dialogue in different lives and work setting with initiatives especially designed for the poor and marginalized.

From the Constitutions

4. Catechists find in the contemplation of the sacred wounds of Jesus and in hearing his words "I am thirsty" the source of a love thet transforms into a burning zeal for the salvation of young people.

Wanting to satisfy the intense thirst of Christ Crucified, Catechists feel themselves called to evangelize proclaiming the love of God made manifest in Christ.

Like Christ, the first divine Catechist, they are ready to give their life for the salvation of persons under their charge, especially the poorest, smallest and most humble.
