"Mission, seen as the announcing of the Good News of the Kingdom, has always been at the very heart of our Spiritan life (SRL 1). But recently, a certain style of Spiritan approach to mission has emerged more clearly: more emphasis is put on being close to people, on the quality of our life and presence, on solidarity, on opening up to new horizons and a greater collaboration with others. The missionary adventure gives us the chance to share a journey with many other people which stimulates us to spiritual growth and a renewal of the meaning of our own commitment" (Maynooth: Our Mission, p. 98).
