Welcome to the Claretians

Join us on a journey of faith and love.

All are welcome.

Striving for a more holy, compassionate, and just world

The Claretian Missionaries of the USA-Canada Province are part of a global Catholic congregation of priests and brothers who tend to vulnerable communities. Rooted in Christ, we do not sit idle in the face of injustice.

Restoring hope

We uplift the dignity of all people, especially those who feel overlooked or forgotten.

Sharing the Gospel

We preach and spread the love of God in the context of our everyday lives.

Engaging 4M people

We listen and attend to all God’s people in their faith journeys, excluding no one.

On fire with God's love

Claretian ministries embody a faith that moves beyond words to impactful actions.
Afire with God’s love, we reach across borders and rekindle hope.
