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 joy of being a Catholic.



If those who were under the Old Law could sing this song of their earthly city: "If I forget thee, O jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten ...": how much more ought we to glory, how much more exuberantly rejoice, in being citizens of a City built upon the holy mount with living and chosen stones, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone.

For no greater glory, no higher dignity,
no honour more sublime can be conceived
than that of belonging to the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church,

wherein we become members of this one venerable Body,
are governed by one august Head,
filled with the one divine Spirit,
nourished during this earthly exile
with one doctrine and one Bread of angels,
until at last we come to enjoy in heaven one everlasting happiness"

Pope Pius XII (Mystici Corporis Christi - The
Mystical Body of Christ)
