The Consolata Missionaries are a catholic community of about 1000 brothers and priests from four different continents. They dedicate their life for the proclamation of the Good News as commanded in the Gospels: 'Go into the world and preach the Gospel to the whole Creation'. The Consolata Missionaries are consecrated: they are dedicated to the mission in a total way, without any additional commitments, besides the mission. They free themselves from any other relationships. They take three vows: poverty, chastity and obedience, under the influence of the evangelical beatitudes. For them this is not a temporary commitment, but for life.
