Guided by a commitment to faith, community and service, this program equips missionaries to accompany young adults in their spiritual journeys, while inviting parishes to play an active rol in fostering meaningful ministry programs. Whether you're a young adult answering the call to serve or a parish seeking to make a greater impact, the Missionary Program provides the tools, training and support needed to build relationships, nurture faith, and transform lives.
Building intentional disciples
Building consequential relationships is the core of being an Iskali missionary. Discipleship is central to missionary work, especially within the Hispanic community, where strong family bonds, friendship, and faith are deeply valued. By combining universal principles of evangelization with culturally specific elements, Iskali missionaries embrace three essential pillars: authentic acceptance, authentic friendship, and sharing the joy of the Gospel. These pillars guide the mission of forming authentic, Christ-centered relationships that inspire transformation and build vibrant communities of faith.
