A Personal Prelature in the Catholic Church.
Its mission is to spread the message that all Christians are called by God to seek holiness in and through their daily work, family life and social relations.
To help people carry out this message, Opus Dei offers specialized pastoral care through classes, talks, spiritual direction, retreats, etc.
