A little bit about us… (taken from our Typikon)

§14 We are a community of Catholic brothers in the Ukrainian Catholic Church in communion with Rome, who share and serve in its traditional and accepted way of consecrated life. We are also privileged to participate, serve, share and celebrate with all Catholic Churches in communion with Rome.

§15 The community of the Brothers of the Holy Spirit exists for the salvation of its members by living in common the evangelical life: the renouncing of sin and sinful passions in favor of the Kingdom of the Father revealed in Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit poured forth in the Church.

§16 For this purpose, the brothers:

          a. profess promises of poverty, chastity and obedience,

b. strive for ceaseless prayer and for the perfection of the Gospel by  constant repentance (metanoia), and the practice of virtues (praxis),

c. minister, insofar as they are able, to the spiritual and temporal needs of all who ask their help, and

d. support this lifestyle as far as possible by the labor of their hands.

§17 In living this common life, the Brothers of the Holy Spirit serve the whole Church by their prayer, and also by providing a model of living the Gospel.

§18 The brothers do not seek, and do not accept, the major Holy Orders. We simply live our lives as brothers, by learning and living this typikon and being faithful to the magisterium of the Church.

“You have not chosen me; I have chosen you. Go and bear fruit that will last.” -John 15:16

Heavenly King, Advocate, Spirit of Truth, who is everywhere present and fills all things; Treasury of Blessings, Bestower of Life, come and dwell within us; cleanse us from all that defiles us, and, O Good One, save our souls.
