The Guanellian Lay Movement is a group of people who support the Guanellian religious orders by caring for the poor and sharing the spirituality of St. Louis Guanella. The movement is open to anyone who wants to live the charism of charity and follow the example of St. Guanella.

 

This includes:

• Youth

• Volunteers

• Families

• Benefactors

• Friends

• Sympathizers

• Alumni of Guanellian Houses

• Family members of residents of Guanellian Houses

• Staff of Guanellian pastoral, missionary, and charitable centers

• Associates who live community life with Guanellian religious.

The Guanellian Lay Movement is based on the idea that the laity are essential to the success of St. Guanella's mission. The movement's goal is to increase the culture of love and solidarity in the world.

To the Guanellian laity too, as well as to the Daughters of St. Mary of Providence, the Servants of Charity, and the Guanellian Cooperators, the Holy Spirit communicates the grace and the inspiration of the Founder so that they may carry on His ministry of charity.
