Given to God in community for the service of those most in need.
Charism
The charism of the Missionary Daughters of St. Jerome Emiliani has bestowed upon the very life and the examples of St. Jerome Emiliani who seeks ardent holiness patterned to the most sweet Jesus in whom the foundation of constructing Christian community like in the time of the apostles was founded in living in practice of charity especially for the least and the poor sharing life and being with the orphans & the needy 24/7 for their integral Christian and human formation.
Missionary
In the image of Jesus who went out to meet the people to announce the Good News, we are impelled by the action of the Holy Spirit, as we live in constant search of those who are in need of the salvific and redeeming proclamation of the Word of God, so that they may feel the love and predilection of God for them.
Somascan
Our spirituality assumes the constitutive elements of life and the relationship of St. Jerome Emiliani; We have the spirituality that is: God-center, Christ present to the least and the poorest of this world, Mary, whom St. Jerome followed as an example to be a father and mother for whom he encountered and as we are called to welcome the maternally the children, adolescent, and the youth specially the orphans, abandoned and marginalised, helping them towards Jesus.
Apostolate
We are called to develop our apostolic action in the pastoral, social and Christian Education based on the Gospel, Magisterium of the Church and Spirituality and Pedagogy of the Somascans taking into account the historical and cultural events of the present time.
