We are the Clerical Apostolic Society: Incarnatio-Consecratio-Missio (abbreviated ICM; equivalent in English Incarnation-Consecration-Mission) belonging to the Diocese, Dalat Vietnam.
Currently, our members in the American Province serve those who wish to come back to God at the Missionary Center of Saint Andre Dũng Lạc and His Vietnamese Martyr Companions - St. Lê Thị Thành Retreat Center; and by serving in prisons and parishes in the United States. If you are interested in more information about us, please contact us.
Our Spirituality
The mystery of the incarnation of Christ, the Second Person of God, became human and like us in every way, except sin, to save us.
The mystery of the Incarnation is the light that illuminates the path in consecrated and apostolic life and is the driving force and strength for missionary activities.
In the mystery of the Incarnation, we recognize the wonderful face of our Lady in the plan of salvation, when the son of God became her son, we loved Mary and were devout to her as our Mother.

Our Charism
Jesus, through the Mystery of the Incarnation, by the action of the Holy Spirit, dedicated himself to God the Father to save humanity. He became a sacrifice to atone for sin and consecrate humanity (see Heb 10:8-10 NCB).
The extreme consecration of Jesus is completed in the sacrifice of the cross and is vividly celebrated on the altar in the Eucharist, the sacrament of Love.
We desire to be conformed to the Incarnate Son of God to worship and love the Father, and to cooperate in the redemptive mission of Christ.

Our Mission
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may attain eternal life. “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe in him already stands condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. (John 3: 16-18 NCB)
Due to the Mystery of the Incarnation, Jesus became the only Sender of God the Father (see John 7:29 NCB). Jesus' entire life and mission on earth was to preach the Kingdom of God and make it present among all living things (see Luke 4:18-19 NCB).
(Excerpt from the ICM Constitution)
“As the Father has sent me, even so, I send you” (John 20:21 NCB) is not only Christ's command to the Apostles but also the communicative and universal character of the Church. As an inseparable part of the Church, we are sent to preach the Gospel and evangelization to all creatures, especially those who do not yet know God.
