Filii in Filio

Filii in Filio men prioritize loving God, neighbor. Embracing Christ's sonship, we pursue holiness, service, brotherhood, and chivalry.

As the men of Filii in Filio, we strive to make the first two commandments of loving God and loving our neighbor central to our lives. Christ came into the world so we could become sons of the Father through His Sonship. With these two commandments in mind, we acknowledge God’s invitation to enter deeper communion with Him and with each other as we endeavor to live as His adopted sons. As a community of brothers, we recognize the importance of living a life of holiness centered around all Christ has revealed to us, which we pursue through service, Christian brotherhood, and chivalry. Thus, we maintain a constant focus on love and service towards God and our neighbor. We look to the intercession of St. Joseph Terror of Demons, St. John the Beloved, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and Our Lady of Knock.
