Chapter 1

The  Sisters  of  the  Queenship  of  Mary

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jer. 1:5)

1. Birth of the Congregation

The SQM Congregation is the fruit of a special gift the Holy Spirit bestows upon the Church through Rev. Fr. Carlo della Torre, the founder,[1] to gather girls who are generous in dedicating their whole lives in answering God’s call by making vows to observe the evangelical counsels, namely: chastity, poverty and obedience, in order to collaborate with the Church for the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.

 

2. Status of the Congregation

The name of this Congregation is “The  Sisters  of  the  Queenship  of  Mary”[2] with S.Q.M as its abbreviation under the special jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Bangkok.[3] Members make freely the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience in response to the call of God and live a life in communion.

 

3. Charism of the Congregation

A group of religious person coming together to live a fraternal life in order to serve God and the Church by imitating the Holy Family of Nazareth is the charism given by Fr. Carlo della  Torre, the founder.[4]

 

4. Spirituality of the Congregation

The spirituality of the Congregation derives from the outstanding model that the founder had been trying to cultivate into the heart of each member.  This is clearly manifested in the fervent love to the Holy Eucharist, prayers and work, special love and devotion to the Blessed Mother Mary, cheerfulness and close fraternal relationship under the atmosphere of love, humble and mutual respect. In order to achieve these objectives they must imitate the example of the Holy Family of Nazareth.  Such spirituality is the spiritual treasure that the congregation has inherited from the founder. All must faithfully maintain this heritage and perseveringly make them ever greater progress.[5]

 

5. Mission of the Congregation

The SQM Congregation is founded with the objectives to renew and extend the Kingdom of God through prayers and activities under the guidance of Our Blessed Mother Mary amidst the non-Christians and Christian families including the young, especially the poor, through a close collaboration with the local Church.

 

6. Patroness of the Congregation[6]

The SQM Congregation began under the patronage and guidance of the Immaculate Mary.  Hence, each sister must be convinced that she is Mary’s daughter by holding her the Patroness of the congregation and must faithfully live her life as Mary did.  Besides, the sisters will have special devotion to St. Joseph and follow his life of honesty and hard-working spirit, and imitate the life of Father Carlo della Torre, the founder.

 

7. Relationship with the Salesian Congregation

Since the SQM Congregation has had special relationship with the Salesians both through the founder and the spirituality inherited from him, the SQM congregation therefore desires to receive formation from the Salesian priests as much as possible in order to maintain the spirit of the founder.
