From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canons Regular of Saint John Cantius (CRSJC) is a clerical Institute of Consecrated Life in the Catholic Church, founded in 1998 in the Diocese of Chicago as the Society of St. John Cantius. In 1999 Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago approved the Society of St. John Cantius as a public diocesan association. This Society celebrates the traditional Latin Liturgy (Tridentine Mass) according to the rites of 1962, as promulgated by Pope John Paul II's motu proprio "Ecclesia Dei" of 1988, as well as the Mass according to the Missal of Paul VI (Novus Ordo) in both Latin and English. The members live in community under the Augustinian Rule. The institute was founded by Fr. C. Frank Phillips, C.R., the pastor of St. John Cantius Church in Chicago. CRSJC's motto: Instaurare Sacra (Restoration of the Sacred).
