HE PRIESTLY SOCIETY OF CHRIST THE KING is committed to the total restoration of the traditional way of Catholic life: the formation of men for service at the Altar, Family Life and Religious Life are all essential components of that return to all things Catholic.

          The Society of Christ the King is looking for young men of the highest moral character who are interested in becoming Priests who will offer exclusively the Traditional (pre-Vatican II) Latin Mass and Sacraments. Sacerdotal Formation will begin with a Spiritual Year and last anywhere from four to eight years depending on the candidate. Young men interested in being Priests forever, and Knights in the service of Our Divine King must be of the highest moral character and committed to a life of celibacy and obedience. In addition they must be at least eighteen years of age and of reasonable intelligence: the courses of study demand an ability to learn and comprehend Latin, Philosophy, Logic, Theology, Liturgy, Humanities, etc. All candidates must be able to pass a background check which will be conducted by law enforcement.

 

 

For men interested in the Religious Life, there is the LITTLE BROTHERS OF CHRIST THE KING (Socius Fratrinorum Christi Regis), being established to assist the Priests of the Society in their parochial duties.

          Men who have graduated from High School and are interested in a life of sacrifice, sanctification and fidelity to the authentic teachings of the Catholic Church should contact the Society for further information.

          Those candidates accepted will come to Southern California and begin a six month Postulancy, followed by a year Novitiate. After that time they may take simple vows and begin working in the Apostolate; all Brothers will continue their formation and education, both religious and practical, depending upon the needs of the Community.

          The Brothers will eventually assist the Church by teaching catechism, assisting with certain parochial administration, and working with the poor and others in need. As time progresses, the Brothers will be called into even more service for the Catholic Church.

          Candidates should be at least 18 years old, in good health and have at least an average intelligence. Candidates should also be free to live a Religious Life, i.e.: not married, free from financial debt and have the highest moral standards. All candidates must be able to pass a background check which will be conducted by law enforcement.

 

 

Finally, for women who are interested in the traditional Catholic Religious Life there is THE DAUGHTERS OF CHRIST THE KING (Filić Christi Regis): women dedicated to a life of extraordinary holiness and sacrifice. These Sisters are active and contemplative. Candidates would likewise meet the above mentioned criteria and need to pass background checks and be free to serve Christ alone.

          Those interested in these most holy and worth while ways of life, should not hesitate in immediately writing for additional information. Please contact:
