| The
Handmaids were erected in 1989 as a Public Association of the
Faithful in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles with the view of
becoming a Religious Institute. The Founder of the Charism and
Spirituality is Fr. Luke Zimmer. The Co-foundresses are Sr. Mary
Rose Chinn and Sr. Mary Joseph Mei.
The Handmaids are a Religious Community of consecrated women whose charism is to bring to fruition Jesus' prayer for unity at the Last Supper; and whose spirituality is to live the Family Life of the Blessed Trinity as reflected in the Holy Family. They live a consecrated apostolic life, professing vows of evangelical chastity, poverty, obedience and charity. Their apostolate is to live and share this charism and spirituality in union with the Church expressed in catechesis and evangelization. It is directed towards building up the parish family, helping each person to become a living prayer of unity, a saint (Jesus for and to others), by living Jesus' Way of Life. As to specific entrance requirements, though the age limit is 18-33, each person's vocation is individually evaluated. |
