Mission Statement
The Conference of Major Superiors of Men (CMSM)
is an association of the leadership of men in religious and apostolic
institutes in the United States. The Conference has formal ties with the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Leadership Conference of Women
Religious, the National Assembly of Religious Brothers and other
national agencies. CMSM represents U.S. male religious and apostolic
communities before a number of national and international bodies,
including the Congregation of Religious and Secular Institutes of the
Holy See, which officially recognizes CMSM as the national
representative body for men in religious and apostolic communities in
the United States.
CMSM addresses the life and concerns of
religious and communities of apostolic life in the United States,
including their evangelizing mission in the context of Church and
culture in this country. CMSM is both a voice for major Superiors and a
service to them:
a) as a voice, it speaks regionally,
nationally and internationally, independently or in concert with other
groups; it does so from the perspective of male religious and members of
apostolic communities on issues regarding their life, as well as that of
the Church and of our society;
b) as a service, it assists major Superiors
in their role of leadership in their own communities and in the
Conference as a whole, especially in promoting greater fidelity and more
effective witness to the Gospel ideal.

The Canossian Daughters of Charity, Servants
of the Poor, are an international missionary congregation of women
founded by St. Magdalene of Canossa, canonized in 1988. Our actions
arise from our identity born of Christ crucified, the Greatest Love. We
are called to journey in simplicity, sharing a common life at the
service of our brothers and sisters on every continent. Through
ministries of education and human promotion, evangelization and faith
formation, and pastoral care among the suffering, we strive to touch
each person with the love of God. Our motto is "to make Jesus known and
loved," especially to those most in need.
