The Circular Letters

St. Guido Conforti, founder of the Xaverian Missionaries more than 125 years ago, lives on in the passion for Christ and passion for humanity of Xaverian Missionaries in all continents of the world.

That passion for mission comes from the charismatic power of the Holy Spirit that call the Founder to dedicate priests and brothers to the First Proclamation of the Church. We cross geographical, cultural, and religious borders to share the inimitable love of Christ for all of humanity.

One of the most inspirational ways he guided his fledgling institute dedicated to mission in China in the late 19th century and early 20th century was through special letters that sought to inspire and unify Xaverian Missionaries everywhere. We call them his “Circular Letters.”

We share them with you with the hopes you too will find inspiration. Even though they are dated, they offer a vision of faith which is timeless.
