In the charity's own words

Education, widely understood, is our main activity. Through it we seek to promote the growth and well-being of the individual and the transformation of the society in which they live. Today, most of our work is in non-institutional settings. Through personal contacts, in catechetical programmes, retreats and in our website we promote Christian attitudes to human dignity and respect for our planet.
