What is CM?
CM (Congregatio Missionis or Mission Congregation) was founded by St. Vincent de Paul.
CM consists of priests and brothers who dedicate themselves to serving the poor, forming future priests, forming lay people, mentoring young people, and running schools and retreat houses. CM members live in community.
What is the Spirit of CM?
The spirit of CM is to put on the spirit of Christ, the Evangelist, to the poor (Luke 4:18). This spirit was embodied by St. Vincent de Paul in five virtues: Simplicity, Humility, Meekness, Self-Mercy, and the Salvation of Souls.
To maintain fidelity in serving the poor, CM priests and brothers make simple perpetual vows of PURITY, POVERTY, OBEDIENCE, and STABILITY (=a lifelong commitment to CM to proclaim the Gospel to the poor).
