The
Society of the Missionaries of Charity founded by Mother M.
Teresa MC, in the year 1946, is an International Community -
composed of active and contemplative branches, Sisters, Brothers
and Fathers with Perpetual, Public Vows of Chastity, Poverty,
Obedience, and wholehearted and Free Service to the poorest of
the poor.
Our AIM is to quench the infinite thirst of Jesus Christ on the
Cross for love of Souls. Our particular Mission is to labor at
the Salvation and Sanctification of the poorest of the poor - by
living our 4th Vow of Whole Hearted and Free Service to the
poorest of the poor.
Our Mission here in Vancouver was founded on the 29th May, 1988.
