- The mission of the Friars Preachers to serve the Church by preaching the name of Jesus Christ to the nations is the responsibility of whole Order. The mission is carried out in different ways, in keeping with the various conditions either of the Church or of the peoples, groups and men and women to which it is directed. It should always, however, be done in accordance with the fundamental principles of the ministry of the word and in a manner in keeping with the charism of the Order.
- Missionary activity should have as its objective that by the evangelical witness of his life and preaching the missionary may make present the magnetic power of the Gospel of
Christ as the true message of salvation and thus, by cooperating in their liberation and reconciliation, gather God’s people together.
The missionary should aim to establish the Church in peoples and groups where it has not yet taken root. He also should endeavour to revive faith and Christian life in the places where the Church has suffered a setback, always bearing in mind that he works in the service of the local Church.
