Lay Missionaries of Charity

 

Founded on April 16, 1984, by Saint Teresa of Calcutta and Fr. Sebastian Vazhakala, M.C., the Lay Missionaries of Charity (LMC) is an International Association of Lay people who adhere to the Spirit and Charism of the Missionaries of Charity by caring for the poorest of the poor.

 

Formation is a two year discernment process that involves studying the LMC statutes, as well as reading and discussing the letters from Fr. Sebastian Vazhakala, M.C..  At the end of the two-year period, vows are professed annually and formation continues.

 

LMC groups meet monthly for prayer, formation lessons, and to live out their commitment of service to the poorest of the poor.
