About Us
We are the Taiwan District of the CICM SINICA Province.
We are members of an international religious missionary Institute, C.I.C.M. ( = Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae, in Latin, = Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, in English), an international group of 1,202 religious men who are dedicated totally and exclusively to the foreign missions of the Catholic Church.
The congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (CICM) was founded in the year 1862 by Rev. Theophile Verbist. Like our founder, each of us has heard the call of Christ: “Go out to the whole world: proclaim the Gospel to all creation" (Mk. 16: 15)..
We are sent to the nations to announce the Good News, wherever our missionary presence is most needed, especially where the Gospel is not known or lived. We leave our country to proclaim salvation as the great gift of God which liberates from everything that oppresses and divides people. Following Jesus, we address ourselves preferentially to the poor as the privileged recipients of the Kingdom of God.
Religious missionaries of different races and cultures. We live and work together as brothers. "One heart and one soul" .we witness to the Father's will that all men and women be brothers and sisters in Christ. We are a sign of solidarity among the particular Churches in their universal mission.
Our Institute began its missionary work in China. It remains concerned with the evangelization of the Chinese
people.
