Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

The Society of Apostolic Life - Regina Virginum




The Society of Apostolic Life Regina Virginum (Queen of Virgins) is comprised of women who received the call to religious life, and who wish to follow the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel. They live in community and devote their lives to serve the Church.

In order to provide a good training for novices, the formation house of the Society of Apostolic Life Regina Virgins was built in Sao Paulo. There the girls learn and prepare to become the evangelists that the Church needs in this new millennium.

Aware that the Church has always attached great importance to the cultivation of the arts as a means of spiritual enrichment, the "Heralds of the Gospel" uses various artistic expressions to engage with society.
