Members of the community currently work in the Archdiocese of Miami and also have communities in the dioceses of Orlando and St. Augustine, Florida; Peoria, Illinois; Phoenix, Arizona; and the Diocese of the Military Ordinariate of Italy. Among their many ministries, they work as parish directors of religious education, pastoral assistants, in teaching and as hospital chaplains.
