The Congregation of the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus

“I am the Handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38).

 

Spirit

The model and patronage of our Religious consecration is the Blessed Virgin Mary who first declared "I am the Handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to your word" (Luke 1:38).  In her, we find the model of deep faith, humility, zeal, absolute trust in Divine Providence and a delicate attentive service to others. From her we draw the spirit of the Congregation which is that of "all-embracing charity", manifesting itself in our motto of "Love and Service".

Our Vision
