Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever!
Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever is not one of our SCJ mottos, but it is at the root of our message. We SCJs are called to preach the love of God and to proclaim and build the kingdom that is both here and not yet, summed up in our motto “Adveniat Regnum Tuum” (Your Kingdom Come). We do so in the spirit of availability embodied in the words: “Ecce Venio” (Behold I Come).
