Prot. No. S. 26-1/84 Decree The Members of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary are ready to serve the Church, under the direction and protection of the Mother of God, by undertaking various works, which the needs of the times are demanding. In a very special manner, not neglecting their own sanctification, they dedicate themselves to pastoral work in parishes, in schools, and in the publishing apostolate. Moreover, following the original tradition of the Congregation, they strive to render help to the souls detained in Purgatory. After a previous examination of the text by its consultors, and taking into consideration the favorable vote of its Plenary Session, by virtue of this present decree this Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes approves and confirms the Constitutions of the said Institute according to the text prepared in the Latin language, which is conserved in its archives. The Members of the Institute, inspired, according to the mind of its Founder and Renovator, by the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, which from the very foundation of the Congregation is the distinctive sign, strength, and joy of the Marian vocation, should live their religious consecration with enthusiasm, and endeavor to fruitfully carry out the apostolic works for Christ and the Church.
