The LGC Sisters are identified by their unique charism rooted on "the renewal of God's people in all walks of life and to bring about the fullness of man for the glory of God."[5]
Missionedit
The LGC Sisters deliberately offer themselves to the following mission as stated in their General Constitutions:
"Nourished by the Word of God and the Eucharist, united among ourselves and with the Church, transformed by the Spirit with Mary in love, we the members of the Living the Gospel Community commit ourselves to a life of constant renewal in Jesus Christ and the extension of His Kingdom by small communities."[1][5]
The LGC Sisters are engaged in various established apostolates and ministries such as pastoral care to students, parents, prisoners and families of overseas workers; catholic and value formation which involves catechism in parishes and schools and giving retreats; administering retreat houses, parish offices and nursing homes for the elderly and orphans; livelihood assistance to the poor to upgrade their quality of life; and responding to other Church necessities wherever they are requested by their respective bishops who invited them.[5][3]
