Who are the Idente Missionaries?

Institute Id of Christ the Redeemer, Idente Missionaries, is a new form of consecrated life of pontifical right, founded by Fernando Rielo in 1959 in Tenerife, Spain. It is made up of two branches: celibate clergy and laymen and celibate women who profess the Gospel counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience through public vows and associated men and women who make a commitment in keeping with their personal state through temporary or permanent promises to live out the charism and mission of the Institute. The community is present in twenty countries around the world (Africa, America, Asia, and Europe).

ABOUT FERNANDO RIELO

Idente Youth Founder

Fernando Rielo was born in Madrid on August 28, 1923. From childhood on he experienced love for God in the Person of the Father, a love which governed his whole life.
At the age of sixteen he had an experience which marked him forever—the call of our Heavenly Father, who said to him, “Be holy, my son, as I am holy.” He himself stated, “I promised Him I would always repent of everything that might cause Him displeasure and that I would spend my entire life seeking his will..., and I began to desire that these words of the Father would enter the hearts of all.”

His intense spirituality was concretely manifested when, at the age of twenty-three, he entered the Congregation of the Most Hol
