Spirituality and Charism – Ministry

“Hasten your assistance, the Lord God will bless! Let us trust in His help and care.”

[Rev. Johannes Schneider]

We respond to the needs of the Church by serving in many places, providing help and support where man is in need. People to whom we are currently sent:
