Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
"May the Holy Triune God live in our hearts and in the hearts of all people"
"Love for the Holy Trinity was the foundation of Arnold Janssen's whole existence, the central core of his innermost being, the goal and the radiating force of his apostolic zeal.
Janssen expressed his whole attitude so beautifully and succinctly that it became the motto of our Congregation:
“Vivat Deus Unus et Trinus in cordibus nostris!”
Herein lies the goal and the driving force: to help all people, including ourselves, to attain the fullness of our human dignity: participation in the life of the Holy Trinity, united in the bonds of love with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and, in God, with all people"
