We are the
Taiwan District of the
CICM SINO-MONGOL
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.
