The traditional involvement in the educational apostolate is still an invaluable contribution to the people. It may be in the evening of its existence as Spiritan personnel become increasingly scarce. Over the years, however, the concentration of Spiritans involved has been a seed bed of exciting developments.

The considerable talent in the province is now engaged in a great variety of service to the people and to the church: human development; care for the poor; formation; lay leadership education; bible reflection; journalism; historical research; secretarial service to the Caribbean Bishop's Conference as well as building up Catholic communities in parish work. In this spectrum of service, SERVOL has been outstanding.

There is also a telling contribution being made in other countries, especially in Mexico and Nigeria.
