Do I have to be a member of a particular jurisdiction or denomination to be a member of the Order of the Most Holy Mary Theotokos?
A. No. The Order of the Most Holy Mary Theotokos is an Independent/Autocephalous Catholic ecumenical religious order. We are a faith-filled family of believers integrating the fundamental principles of contemplative spirituality into our modern lives. A religious community comprised of men and women of all ages, married and single, clergy and laity, living and working in the world. Like the many different threads, which come together to form a magnificent tapestry, our religious order, while Catholic in the fullest sense, welcomes people from diverse liturgical, theological, denominational and jurisdictional affiliations, as well as cultural backgrounds and ages. Any baptized Christian whose faith and ministry perspective is truly both ecumenical (accepting of all who claim the Holy Name of Christ) and Catholic (universal) may make application to join.
