Today, as yesterday, more than ever, the world needs apostles who bring to their brothers the message of life and hope, of peace and goodness, of love and redemption. In the past, the Apostles were sent by the Lord and the communities founded by them. Francis of Assisi and his followers who went around the world, and still, the world are carrying their message of Peace and Good.

Today, we are among many other branches that have sprouted from Francisco's trunk. Our official name: "CONGREGATION OF CAPUCHIN TERTIARY RELIGIOUS OF OUR LADY OF SORROWS" also called "AMIGONIANS" is after the family name of our Founder.

The Capuchin Tertiary Religious or Amigonians, is a Religious Congregation within the Catholic Church, and within it, the Franciscan Family. We radically follow Jesus from the Charism that the Spirit gave us through our Founder, Fr. Luis Amigó. We are dedicated to expressing the mercy of Christ the Good Shepherd to young people with behavioral problems.
