Volunteering
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a householder who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard" (Matthew 20,1)
Charism & Spirituality
Our charism-spirituality is synthetically expressed by art. 2 of our Constitutions:
Our form of life, according to the charism-spirituality of the Foundress, is to live in fraternity the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, "Spouse crucified naked, and forsaken" and in him to be sent to "work hard for the conversion of overseas people", in fidelity to Mother Church, in the footsteps of St. Francis, a true friend and imitator of Christ.
Even the name, Franciscan Missionaries of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, says a lot about us:
Franciscan
The Most High himself revealed to me that I had to live according to the form of the Holy Gospel (St. Francis)
Called to live the Gospel in fraternity and minority, we profess the rule and life of the brothers and sisters of the regular Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi.
Like him, we want to welcome and live the word of God in its integrity, to incarnate it in our personal and community existence as a sign of our faithful and joyful love for God.
Missionaries of Egypt
The main purpose that led us to Egypt was precisely to work hard in order to gain souls for God. (Mother M. Caterina Troiani)
Called to go "to all peoples" to proclaim the Gospel with an itinerant and penitent spirit, we insert ourselves in the history and tradition of peoples, we promote ecumenical and interreligious dialogue by collaborating in local pastoral care.
Our apostolic activities, which began in Cairo-Egypt and now spread to various parts of the world, are a privileged mediation for the mission of evangelization and human promotion that the Church carries out in the world.
said of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Put everything in the hands of Our Lady, our mother (Mother M. Caterina Troiani)
Called to live like Mary, in the Word of God and in service, we entrust our whole being to the action of the Spirit, to be transformed into a gift of charity to the Church and to the world.
Mary, Star of evangelization, guides us on our journey among the men and women of our time so that we can give them the joy of Christ's presence and exhort them to welcome his Love.

Prayer for canonisation
Holy Trinity
Source of holiness and of every perfect gift,
We thank you for the incommensurate love you always spread on all of your creatures,
With burning faith we ask you the grace
blessed M. Caterina Troiani to be included among the Saints,
As a crucified bride, a missionary between the overseas people,
Within her earthly existence, she followed the crucified Christ's footsteps
She did all she could for the little ones, the latest, the despised and for poor people
We entrust our ardent prayer to the immaculate heart of Mary,
And we certainly know that She will grant it.
Glory on to thee, Holy Trinity. Amen.
Please report the graces received through M. Caterina’s intercession to:
