Heralds of Good News (HGN)
The specific aim of the Society is the training and supply of saintly, dedicated and hardworking missionaries wherever there is a need, especially due to the shortage of local vocations. The Society has Mary Queen of Apostles and Saint Joseph the Worker as the Patrons.

Franciscan Fathers (OFM)
We believe that as followers of St. Francis of Assisi in this modern time, we are "lesser brothers" called to be centered in Christ with the Gospels as our Rule of Life. We believe that fidelity to our calling is expressed in loyalty to the mission of Jesus continued in His Church, in a spirit of prayer and contemplation, with a special love for the poor, and reverence for all God's creation.

Capuchin Franciscan Fathers (OFM)
The Capuchin Franciscan Friars are a Roman Catholic religious order of brothers and priests inspired by the life and ideals of St. Francis of Assisi. We seek to be a joyful presence of hope and salvation to all, especially to those most in need. Wherever we are, we seek to find the power of Christ working in His people. We invite you to walk with us.

Augustinians (OSA)
We are a brotherhood called by St. Augustine to live one mind and heart intent upon God. But, in the year 2008, the needs of the church dictate that our life is more than just living together in harmony. We are also called to be ministers. The recipe for community life mixed with the demands of the ministry is not always easy to attain; yet it is very much a holy blending of the ingredients of grace, joy, and conversion.

Society of the Catholic Apostolate (SAC)
We are a Roman Catholic Community dedicated to promoting the Universal, or Catholic, Apostolate by following the motto of founder St. Vincent Pallotti, “The Love of Christ urges us on!” St. Vincent Pallotti taught that clergy, lay people and those in consecrated life are sent as apostles for the Church and the World. It is this mission that the Pallottines perform as they work in partnership with laity throughout the world.

Society of Jesus (JS)
To be a Jesuit is, above all, learning to live in God's presence. Such a life challenges us to pray, to make practical decisions in the light of the gospel and to love as Christ loved. Formation is something we allow God to do - gently, truthfully, consistently. Our formation helps us become in all our humanity an instrument united to God in order to love the world and its people.

Society of Mary (SM)
We are part of a Marist family of priests, brothers, sisters, and lay groups. We have a sense of being chosen and called by Mary to live compassionately and mercifully as she did as mother and disciple of God. Today, we continue in the venture to renew the spirit and mission of the Church as a place of collaboration and true spiritual enrichment.

Third Order Regular of St. Francis of Penance (TOR)
We take vows that challenge us to live a life of poverty, chastity, and obedience to the Church. Each day our priests and missionaries celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the intentions and needs of the Church and all those who have asked for a special place in our prayers.

Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR)
Our mission is to serve the materially poor, most especially the destitute and homeless, and preach and teach the Holy Gospel by sharing the rich treasures of our Catholic faith with all. Some expressions of this apostolate are: providing missionary centers for the poor, street evangelization, parish missions, retreats, days of recollection, pilgrimages, spiritual direction, pastoral counseling, religious education and sacramental ministry.

Dominicans (OP)
Dominicans preach in churches and on the street, in universities and in mass media to the faithful as well as dissidents; we break open Scripture to different audiences and pursue works of justice and peace; we give retreats to nuns, visit the sick, console, listen, confess, forgive, and ultimately desire to go as far as need be to preach the Word of God to those who do not yet know it or need to hear it.
