The Teresian Association
The Teresian Association is an international
association of lay men and women called together
to make Jesus present in today's world. Founded
in 1911 by Saint Pedro Poveda, It is committed
to transform society through the promotion of
Gospel values.
The Teresians fulfill their mission mainly
through the practice of their professions. They
are involved in family ministry, pastoral work,
mass media, arts, health care, livelihood programs
and research. The Association is engaged in
different educational, socio-cultural and humanitarian
endeavors and is present in 31 countries, with
thousands of members and collaborators.
The first group of members came to the Philippines
from Spain in 1950. Their first apostolic activities
were centered on the Christian formation of
students in the universities and residences,
which they opened for university students. |
