To restore humanity beginning with ourselves, in accordance with the motto God, Nature, and Society. The generosity of the love of Christ is its model, which is open to all people without distinction.
It was founded in 1975 by Fernando Rielo Pardal, who also founded the Idente Missionaries, a Catholic religious institute, as well as several other organisms devoted to culture, research, and health care. He showed special concern for vulnerable and needy children and young people.
“God, nature and society”, three indispensable realities in which young people, guided by their experience and exploration, discover the highest personal and social goals.
DISCOVER MORE +God manifests Himself freely in the created human being as the experience of love open to the infinite; as the search for authentic joy, peace and freedom; as the desire for truth, good and beauty..
Nature as created reality refers to the cosmos and to life, of which the human spirit, psychology and body form a part, these three being the three levels on which every personal being is manifested.
Society, as a set of relations and conditions, should promote the fulfillment and shared living of human beings in all their dimensions.
What are you willing to do with your lives? How far do you want to go in your commitment to society, to those around you, to yourselves? What is your challenge? What your wager?
May your answer to these questions be a free, personal, unconditional decision.
You must exercise that true freedom that never ends: that which gives you authentic personality, a freedom that no one can take from you.
Fernando Rielo,
