As a bond of communion among the different cultures, we live in international fraternal communities, and our desire is that they may announce the day when all people will be united into the one People of God.

Our choices of apostolate and the places where we have our insertions are, as far as possible, near those who do not know Christ, near the poor and those who are sociologically or morally abandoned, near society's rejects, whose human rights or human dignity are ignored.

Our activities ... are diverse. To the best of our abilities and the vocation of the sisters, our activities are a response to the calls and necessities of the Church and the needs of the changing world. We are to be ready to leave our country or to remain there.
The communication of the Gospel Message is the first aim of the FMM. They witness to the Gospel by their lives, no matter where they are or what they do.
When a foundation is made in a new country, apostolates are begun which answer the needs of the people or the local church.
The missionary orientation of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary is marked by a commitment to justice, peace and the integrity of creation. Ecumenical collaboration and dialogue with all persons sincerely seeking truth and justice characterize their way of mission throughout the world, as they strive to build the Reign of God.
