I may be interested in a religious order

[MTsem]

Specifically, I feel that I may have a vocation to do foreign missions work, although I am not interested in working at a foreign mission that solely helps the poor; rather, I am more interested in evangelization and parish work.

Currently, I am a college seminarian studying for a diocese that I love, but I wonder if missionary work might be my true calling.

What religious orders have this charism? I am particularly interested in ones that are faithful to the teachings of the Church (and not just in lip-service).

Any ideas?

Hey there,

I am currently discerning with just such an order, the Mariannhill Missionaries. I’ve found them to be a solid order, doing great work throughout Africa and Papua New Guineau (and expanding into South America). You can check them out at mariannhill.org. Feel free to PM or email me if you’d like. - using e-mail link in the member profile.

The Community of St. John is an amazing religious order. They are located in Princeville, Illinois and in Texas. Although I’m not sure if their primary language for the novitiate is French or English. (Since they originated in France.) I know they are located all over the world, although they are a relatively new religious order.

Well, I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t plug my own order here…
