SERVITE SECULAR ORDER

“A Servant of Mary”
One of the hallmarks of a member of the Secular Order is that he/she professes to be a Servant of Mary. Therefore we promote devotion to Our Lady in our own lives and the lives of others and we strive to learn more about her. A servant strives to do what his Lady wants — and Mary is quite clear in pointing us to her Son and saying “Do whatever He tells you.” Our dedicated service to Jesus and Mary brings us to a greater devotion to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and devotions to Mary. If you feel that you would like to deepen your own devotion to Mary, think about joining the Servite Secular Order. Please come to our monthly meeting usually held on the second Monday of the month. Or contact Ted Hudon (our president), Fr. Conrad, or any other member of the Secular Order. We hope to start a formal formation program for new candidates in September, but we like them to experience the life of the Secular Order for a few months before officially committing themselves to the formation program.
