Our Motto

Compassionate Love of Christ Urges Us

Mission & Vision

Rooted in God consciousness,we respond to the prophetic call to promote the new way of life initiated by Jesus to reach out to humanity with compassion particularly to the destitute.

St. Joseph

The Patron Saint of SD Congregation is St.Joseph. From the very inception of our Congregation, we experience His powerful mediation. The spirit of destituteness and deep experience of the love of God of the Saint, who unconditionally surrendered himself to the will of God in the obscurity of the mystery of Incarnation and in the insecurities of the sojourn in Egypt, is a powerful inspiration and means of nourishment to us in living our charism.
