A Welcome Message from the Superior General
“Strengthened by the Spirit, United for the Mission”
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Welcome to the official website of the Society of St. Eugene De Mazenod (SDM).
With hearts open to the Spirit and united in our missionary calling, we invite you to journey with us in faith. Here you will discover our story, our mission, and our shared commitment to serve Christ in the poor, the marginalized, and those most in need of His love. May your visit inspire you to join us in living our theme: “Strengthened by the Spirit, United for the Mission.”
The Society of St. Eugene De Mazenod continues its journey of faith and service under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who strengthens us each day to live our calling with fidelity and zeal. Rooted in the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we strive to be authentic witnesses of God’s love in a world yearning for hope and renewal.
“Strengthened by the Spirit, United for the Mission” expresses the heart of our vocation. It reminds us that the Spirit empowers us not for ourselves, but for the mission entrusted to us — to proclaim Christ, to build communities of faith, and to serve especially those who are poor and forgotten. Unity in the Spirit is our source of strength; mission is our shared response of love.
As we continue to walk together, may our hearts be open to the promptings of the Spirit. Let us renew our commitment to be instruments of peace, compassion, and evangelizing joy wherever we are sent.
United in prayer,
Fr. Anthoni Adimai SDM
Superior General
