Congregations Dedicated To Evangelization

[Aragon]

Does anyone know of any groups dedicated to evangelisation and conversion? I've found a few of the old ones (such as the Jesuits, Missionaries of the Sacred Heart) but they seem more focused on social justice rather than converting people now.

They are very heavy in evangelization of youth at the Youth2000 retreats and Catholic Underground. They also do street evangelization on the streets of New York and in front of abortion clinics. They are 100% genuine and orthodox. They are one of my favorite orders.

Franciscan Brothers Minor, as have been suggested above, and of course, the Fathers of Mercy. Their specific mission is preaching. They go to parishes and have talks, do homilies, whatever it takes. They have a very special devotion to confession and the Eucharist.

How could I forget this order? I'm currently in Bible Study that is using her study guide entitled Reasons for Our Hope. It's the study on the Gospel of St. Luke. Rosalind Moss (now known as Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God) is wonderful and I've learned so much in the past 13 weeks. It lasts for 36 weeks.

Their community is on going legal and canonical. Their charisma, beyond contemplation, is to send souls to the Catholic sacrament, evangelization through the streets of the world living the spiritual life of the first Carmelites and Franciscans.
