The Rosarians of the Poor Christ... to be an
active/contemplative society that works specifically for the
conversion of the rural United States, heeding the call for
the New Evangelization, by all means necessary...
"Our proposed community "village" would center around a
log chapel where brothers and priests, and possibly sisters
(most likely as a Society of Apostolic Life) would attend to
their duties, and the farms of Roman Catholic families
living a simple "amish-like" life would surround the
monastery/mission motherhouse.
The religious would not be cloistered in order to allow them
to exercise their charism of preaching, apologetics, and
winning souls for the Catholic Faith.
The Log Chapel, as the centerpiece would be designed with a
rustic log high altar and furnishings.
As a society, the Rosarians would swear absolute fidelity to
the See of Peter and would celebrate the Extraordinary Form
of the Roman Rite for the Divine Office and the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass.
Our habits would be in the Franciscan style, but dark green,
modeled on ancient iconic pictures of St. Benedict...
(Cassock with Roman Collar could also be worn, depending on
the circumstance...) but religious garb would be required..
Dedicated to the renewal of the Church upon its foundations
of Sacred Tradition, the Rosarians place themselves under
the patronage of Our Lady of the Wilderness."
