Resurrectionist Order
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congregation of the Resurrection is an international religious congregation of men within the Roman Catholic Church, founded in 1836 by three men, Bogdan Janski, Peter Semenenko and Jerome Kajsiewicz. Internationally they are divided into three Provinces and one Region, ministering in more than twelve countries worldwide. As consecrated religious they profess the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience.
“By our vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, we dedicate and consecrate ourselves totally to the Risen Christ in the religious life. This dedication entails an act of faith whereby we respond to God’s call to give ourselves completely with all our talents, abilities, and powers to him, to the church, and to the Congregation” (Constitutions of the Congregation of the Resurrection, article 13).
Their life as consecrated religious within the Congregation of the Resurrection is fulfilled as a Priest, Brother or Permanent Deacon.
