With our charisms of fatherhood and evangelization, we aim to foster heart-to-heart relationships with God by growing in our identity as sons of the Father. We look to the examples of King David, St. Dominic Savio, St. Francis de Sales, St. Paul, and St. Joseph Pillar of Families to guide us in closer relationship with Christ. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Fiat Voluntas Tua Our Identity As members of Fiat Voluntas Tua, in declaring “Thy will be done,” we actively strive to embrace our Father’s will. The great “Fiat” of Our Lady within the Annunciation is a continual reminder for our community to surrender to God’s plan, which demands the act of dying to ourselves and trusting in Him. As we conform ourselves to the will of God, we discover and cultivate aspects of motherhood, both spiritual and biological. In this, we seek to grow in the virtues of humility, prudence, and patience through prayer, reflection, and sisterly support. As real-life examples, we turn to St. Teresa of Avila, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, St. Joseph, and St. Padre Pio to live a life of conformity to the will of God. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Fishers of Men About Fishers of Men As Fishers of Men, we actively respond to Christ’s exhortation to the first apostles and to all members of the Catholic Church. Christ came to St. Peter and St. Andrew, saying to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men,” (Mark 1:16). Inspired by this call, Peter and Andrew dropped everything and followed Christ, the One who would teach them how to be true fishers of men. Similarly, as a brotherhood, we live our daily lives with the goal of detaching ourselves from the world so we can dedicate our lives fully to Christ’s call. We take the joyful message Christ proclaims in the Gospel and seek to share it with others. Furthermore, we strive to truly know, understand, and follow the teachings of the Catholic Church so we can reveal it to the whole world and be true fishers of men. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Talitha Koum Be sure to watch to the end for bloopers Our Identity As women of Talitha Koum, we cultivate the desire to grow in deeper intimacy with the heart of the Father. We acknowledge our brokenness and bear it in expectant, childlike faith, trusting the Lord will heal us in His divine timing. Through the act of worship, we unite ourselves to His heart, seeking to enter deeper into His love. We turn to St. Mary Magdalene, St. Monica, Pope St. John Paul II, St. Padre Pio, and St. Joseph Terror of Demons as examples of how to become a community of revivalists who seek to evangelize and create opportunities of encounter with the Father. We invoke the intercession of Our Lady, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, as our advocate and patroness in all we do. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Verso il Cielo Our Identity As the sisters of Verso il Cielo, we respond to the call to live “towards the heavens” by pursuing a life built on poverty of spirit, gift of self, and a missionary disposition. Through Sacred Scripture and Tradition, we seek to know and love Christ so we may further cultivate the desire to know Him personally and share that knowledge with others. This is accomplished through zealously sharing the joy of our identity found in Christ and exemplifying the words of St. Augustine when he said, “To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.” We turn to Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati, St. Philip Neri, St. Augustine, and Our Lady of Guadalupe as examples of how to live a life aimed “towards the heavens.” < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Rosa Mystica Be sure to watch to the end for bloopers Our Identity As the sisterhood of the Mystical Rose, we endeavor to become one with Christ by dying to self under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother, the Mystical Rose. We do not cling to the gratification gained through our relationship with Christ, but to the graces He pours out on us. We aim for the perfection of our souls in all we do, no longer turned toward the attention of others, but to the emptying of ourselves in humble love of Christ. In every aspect of our lives, we strive to see the beauty of God’s goodness and acknowledge how He continuously blesses us. Through the examples of St. Mother Teresa and St. Therese the Little Flower, we as a community of women, aim to completely empty ourselves through acts of self-abandonment so we may be filled with the love of Christ and radiate His love to the world. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Theotokos Be sure to watch to the end for bloopers Our Identity As daughters of the Theotokos, we strive to know and understand the love of the Father through our role as women. In a world where authentic femininity is easily trodden, we turn to the teachings of Pope St. John Paul II on the feminine genius, as well as look to the examples of St. Zelie Martin and Our Lady of Sorrows on how to authentically live out our femininity. We reflect on Our Lady’s role as the “God-Bearer” and the sorrow, joy, and sanctity this role cultivated within her. Like Our Lady, we endeavor to become bearers of the face of God with meekness of heart and feminine strength to the world. In everything we do, we strive to seek the truth of our womanhood in the roles of daughter, sister, bride, and mother as we pursue our charisms of authenticity, receptivity, and reverence. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Praecursores Verbi Be sure to watch to the end for bloopers Our Identity As the men of Praecursores Verbi, we aim to cultivate a life of virtue and holiness built on the example of St. John the Baptist. With a life centered around the Liturgy, we seek to pursue sacrifice, joy, and justice as true Christian men through prayer, recreation, and brotherhood. We unite ourselves to the Chruch by participating in the sacramental life, upholding the Truth, and rejoicing when She rejoices and fasting when She fasts. In doing so, we recognize our lives are not wholly our own, and we declare the words of St. John the Baptist, “He must increase; I must decrease,” (John 3:30). In our journey towards sanctity, we turn to the patronage of St. John the Baptist, the example of St. Therese, and the protection of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Immaculata Vincet Our Identity As the men of Immaculata Vincet, we seek to become high-value men, leaders, and followers of Christ as male student-athletes. By consecrating ourselves to Jesus through Mary and engaging in Exodus 40, we aim to live a life of service, brotherhood, and devotion to the Immaculate Virgin Mary. We turn to St. Maximilian Kolbe’s life and values as an example of how to authentically live our lives as witnesses of God’s transformative love. As we make a daily renewal of our Marian Consecration, we strive to bring those around us closer to Jesus through her intercession. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
Apr 25 2023 Filii in Filio Our Identity 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. < BACK TO HOUSEHOLDS
