SMAHE (Sons and Sisters of Mary and Adorers of the Holy Eucharist), a semi-contemplative twin religious congregation for priests and brothers or nuns was inspired by the Holy Spirit when a 36 year old Filipino priest, Rev. Alejandre V. Galias, had his first audience with the Venerable John Paul II in October 1985 at His Holiness' office inside the Vatican in Rome.

In 1986, guided by the Blessed Virgin Mary coupled with the permission and blessing by Bishop Celso Guevarra, the Sisters congregation was founded; followed quickly (in 1988) by the congregation for the Priests and Brothers.

SMAHE's mission is to "bring Jesus to the people and the people to Jesus."  As such, they operate schools for the poor throughout Southern Luzon, Samar, and Leyte.  Currently, these schools include: 1 Seminary, 1 High School, 4 Kindergardens, and 4 Pre-schools.  All school materials are provided through charitable donations.

SMAHE also operates the Orphanage of the Virgin of Guadalupe (OVG).  Founded in 1990, the orphanage accepts abandoned, neglected, aboused, and homeless children.  These children are guaranteed food, lodging, clothing, schooling and medicine as long as they remain a part of the orphanage.
