We Crosiers share in the renewed vision of religious life in the world today. We recognize that all Religious belong to the life and holiness of the Church. We know that we have a place in the renewed and deepened vision of the Church where all Religious are called to give witness of God’s deep love by our fraternity.

We Crosiers are vowed men living not as a monastic group or an apostolic congregation, but in the conventual family group whereby we live for God alone by seeking to combine contemplative routines and rhythms with a shared apostolic life, the vita mixta.

The route to God for a Crosier is the desire to imitate Christ through his union of mind and heart in community, through a mixed life of liturgical prayer and ministry, through the emphatic promise as a Religious to say “yes” to God, through our membership in and service to the wider people of God, and, finally, by our engagement with the world. We seek to be an evangelical leaven within our society and to announce the Good News in the midst of our life together in the world.
