The Spirit's gift to Scalabrini is alive in all whom the Lord calls to share in it. The creative faithfulness to this gift has led to the development of a spirituality which has its roots in Scalabrini and in the charism the Lord has given the Church through him for the world of human mobility. Many, today, confronted with the reality of migration, discover in the Scalabrinian spirituality a treasure from which to draw as they seek to live fuller lives as Christians.

This common treasure has been entrusted to traditions that have become diverse in times, persons, vocations and approach: truly a wealth to be welcomed and valued as the first experiment in diversity.

We intend to search and point out those essential traits that characterize our way of living our faith, our vocation and mission in the Church and in society. They will bring unity and added meaning to the diversity within our Scalabrinian Family, offering an incentive to those who, whatever their motivation, are involved in the phenomenon of migration and are laboring so that peoples from diverse origins may live together.
The Scalabrinian spirituality's founding principals lie in the constitutional texts approved by the Church. It is subsequently incarnated in the context where we are sent, and receives renewed incentive from an ever deeper study and knowledge of Bishop John Baptist Scalabrini, our founder and inspiration, from the Charism handed down to us, from the wisdom reading of human migration and from our mutual witness.
