The Congregation of Saint Michael the Archangel (C.S.M.A.), also known
as the Michaelite Fathers, is a community of brothers and priests who
choose Jesus Christ as the primary object of their love and the example
to follow. The apostolic activity of the Congregation concentrates on
the ethical and educational teaching of children and youths who are
neglected both morally and materially.

They run several orphanages and
oratories, which provide children with professional help in learning,
assistance as they grow up and oftentimes, a simple meal. This help
takes place at numerous summer and winter holiday camps and events and
is supported by various groups and programs, which exist in parishes.

The members of the Congregation help by teaching religion, the gospel
and by our priestly service. In their work they strive to bring God's Word
to people whose religious lives have been neglected and whose courage
and self-denial need to be strengthened. They try to teach prudence,
persistence and diligence in work. They do their best to show the value and
the beauty of a life in which God is most important.
