CHRISTIAN ORDERS

The Christian Church has a long history of lay and ordained people belonging to Christian Orders. The most famous of these are the Order of St Francis and the Order of St Benedict. In joining an order, you take on a particular mission and focus in your Christian life, perhaps even dedicating yourself to a specific rule of life. These orders provide a wonderful structure to faith and spiritual development, so if you feel drawn to joining on of the orders active in our community please contact us.
