Happy Easter Season!

from the Provincial's desk

Dear Friends of the Stigmatines,

The "motto" of the Stigmatine Congregation is: "EUNTES DOCETE" - "Go forth and teach".  Its theme and basic content comes from the "evangelizing" directive of the Risen Jesus found in the command which ends Matthew's Gospel (28: 16-20). 

Along with Jesus' first followers, we are challenged to be witnesses of one basic fact: Jesus is SOMEONE who changes our life!  This is the message that the Stigmatines desire to share with all those whom we serve. Jesus is not some biographical figure only - but our Savior and Lord.  In all our ministries, we feel called to be living witnesses of this Easter Proclamation.

This Easter Season, when we realize all the more deeply that the Risen Jesus assures us that He will be with us all the days of our lives, we want to thank you for your continued and gracious collaboration. Our prayers continue to be with you and we beg for your prayerful intercession as well.

Thank you for visiting our website. May the joy and peace of this Easter Season be yours!

Gratefully, 

  Fr. Gregory J. Hoppough, C.S.S., Provincial,

and all the Members of the Province of the Holy Spouses
