Born to Serve

We, the Fraternas, desire to respond to the call from God to consecrate ourselves to Him in order to serve others in the world.

We have listened in the silence of prayer to the infinite yearnings that God Himself has sealed in our hearts and have discovered that only in aspiring radically to holiness will we be able to radiate the Light of Christ in a world that suffers much in its remoteness from God.

Following the example of the Virgin Mary, we strive to be free and reconciled women, living an authentic femininity in order to embrace all people and guide them towards a personal encounter with her Son, Jesus.

Faced with the vast challenges of today, the sisters of the MCR live a life of integral and continuous learning, making every effort to obtain the highest level of education and professional preparation. We are aware that only with such preparation will we best be able to help people in their search for the truth that sets them free. For the Fraterna, life-long learning follows her first years of community life, which is a special time of formation during which she seeks to know and deepen her own vocation.

The Marian Community of Reconciliation presently has two International Formation Centers. One is located in Lima, Peru where the motherhouse is located, whereas the other one is located in Manchester, England, where English speaking vocations prepare for the mission.

Striving to respond to the vast challenges of today, we spare no effort in obtaining the highest level of education and professional preparation. We are conscious that only with such preparation will we be able to help the human being in the search for the Truth that sets us free. We accomplish this in the context of many different occupations and careers, ranging from theologian to engineer, to teaching or working in the medical profession. Some of the Fraternas work as musicians, psychologists, philosophers, architects, economists and lawyers, to name a few.

We, the sisters of the MCR , strongly believe in always giving the best of ourselves and in living our vocation with fidelity. We cooperate actively in forging a culture of life, where one can live in the fullness of love, with authentic freedom and hope, and with the fervent desire of reaching heaven.
