Check it out for Yourself :

Personal Visit :
Ask for it and any of our Vocation Ministers will be glad to come to you to share with you about his mission experience and about our community life in an informal way and a relaxed conversation... This will help both you and the Vocation Director of the Xaverian Missionaries to see what your personal needs are, how you may continue your discernment. If you decide so, this may lead you to the “Application Process.” In any case, the Vocation Minister will be with you in this search and will share with you his insights and suggestions.

Full-time Vocation Ministers :
From them you can solicit any type of material and information. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with them and inquire about anything and/or invite them to call on you and visit you. They’ll be glad to attend you... It’s their full time service! ... and it’s your opportunity!!!

Participate in Service Experiences :
These have proven to be great “Taste of Mission” experiences in preparation for a mission commitment.  Most of them are a week-long experience of service in poor areas, group sharing and prayer. They are usually offered during the summer.

Vocation Resources :
Xaverian Mission Blog, Brochures, Across-Borders E-Newsletter, pamphlets, YouTube Videos, booklets, etc. about ministry in the Church, our Founder Saint Guido Maria Conforti, our Patron Saint Francis Xavier, our formation program, our spirituality, our missions, etc.

“Karibu” Program :
”Karibu” means “to welcome” in the African Swahili language. That’s what we call this discernment program for mission through service, community life and prayer. It consists in living at one of our communities taking part in all activities, volunteering among the poor during the day and having time for personal reflection, and sharing together with the community members about our Xaverian Spirituality and missionary work.
It can be from three to ten days long... any time of the year. Please ask any of our Vocation Directors since this program is also based on your own schedule.

We invite you to come and see our mission communities, talk with any of us and find out for yourself how we live and what we do. Please, contact us.
