“To be a man of the Church in the heart of the world and a man of the world in the heart of the Church”
Called to share the charism of Don Luigi Guanella with the Guanellian men and women religious, the Cooperators they undertake to translate it daily into a style of life and into the practice of evangelical charity.
They are constituted in an Association recognized by the Church.
They have a Statute, a permanent itinerary of formation, a public promise which is renewable every year. They also have an organization of animation and responsibility for the Association at a local, provincial and international level.
The mission
They are called to place charity as the principle of their being and their actions. Witness this choice in one's family, at work, in the social sphere, in the church, in the Guanellian institutions, among the Cooperators themselves.
"Today the laity are wide open, more than ever, the immense horizons, some still to be explored, of commitment in the world of culture, art, entertainment, scientific research, work, the media, politics, economy” (Making Christ the heart of the world, Letter to the Laity of the Italian Bishops, 2005).
