Most Rev. Ramón Benito de La Rosa y Carpio

Most Rev. Gonzalo Restrepo
Archbishop of Manizales (Colombia)

“We are before a very numerous Institution like an army in battle array (Song 6:3), who want to serve the Church because they feel they are her faithful children. They take care of their intellectual and spiritual formation. And they have many vocations. They constitute a beautiful potential for the New Evangelization.”

Most Rev. Ángel Fernández Collado
Auxiliary Bishop of Toledo (Spain)

“(…) They have stood out for their pastoral charity manifested in constant visits to parishes, schools and communities of consecrated life where they develop the Oratory apostolate. It is very frequent to note in the faithful the appreciation they have for their animation of a Marian spirituality enriched with the invocation of Our Lady of Fatima. (…) I wish to emphasize their fidelity to the Magisterium and the Church.”

Most Rev. Luis Manuel Ali Herrera
Auxiliary Bishop of Bogota

“(…) From the first moment, I was struck by the peculiarity with which they wear their religious habit, which I admire very much, because with it they give testimony of their life, which is congruent with the exterior. I admire the charism of the Heralds, because in this secularized world, in which the impiety and ugliness of sin is spreading more and more, to see those who incarnate evangelization through beauty, splendor of truth and splendor of goodness, is a clear response of the Holy Spirit to the crises of our times.”

Most Rev. Luigi Morao Andreazza, OFM
Bishop Emeritus Chalatenango (El Salvador)

Rather than getting lost in giving details, I want to declare my conviction that it is a matter of enormous spiritual generosity and the visibility of divine grace.”

Bishop Karl Josef Romer
Secretary Emeritus of the Pontifical Council for the Family

“I could see the willingness to live in communion and the way to evangelize through the beauty in the liturgy and the ministry of music.

I wish them all the graces of love and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, the Virgin Mary and the Chair of Peter.”

Most Rev. Oswaldo Vintimilla
Bishop of Azogues (Ecuador)

“I have had the opportunity to know them since their origin (…) Subsequently and until today, I have kept in touch with them and have encouraged them in their apostolate. They have always been good collaborators in the parishes. (…) They already have many members who are well trained in the ecclesiastical faculties of upright doctrine.
My testimony is that we are before a very numerous Institution, as much in men as in women, like an army in battle array (Song 6:3), that wants to serve the Church, because they feel themselves faithful children. They take care of their intellectual and spiritual formation, they are faithful to the Magisterium and the discipline of the Church. And they have many vocations. They constitute a beautiful potential for the new evangelization.”

Most Rev. Demetrio Fernández González

Most Rev. José Daniel Falla Robies
Bishop of Soacha (Colombia)

It was a very positive experience.”
