Just as at the cross “the disciple took her into his home” (John 19:27), the Brothers of Saint John choose Mary as the Mother and Guardian of their consecration, unity and fraternal life.[/block_title][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][media animation=”none” link=”” image=”2196″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Saint John’s personal obedience to Saint Peter as head of the Church is the inspiration for our desire to be obedient, docile and fervent as was Saint John in his time.[/block_title][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][media animation=”none” link=”” image=”2197″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Clarification

The Congregation of Saint John has taken note of the news concerning the excommunication of an ex-member of the Congregation of St John who might wrongly be presented by news outlets as a Brother of Saint John. This person left the Congregation of Saint John 25 years ago. He is therefore no longer part of our religious institute, holds no responsibility in its name, and maintains no institutional connection with our Congregation. The excommunication decision concerns only the individual himself and pertains to his personal situation. It in no way concerns the Congregation of Saint John. The activities, commitments, and positions taken by this person are his own and do not in any way involve the Congregation of Saint John. The Congregation of Saint John reaffirms its full communion with the Catholic Church and its faithful attachment to the Holy Father. The Congregation carries out its mission in service to the Church, in communion with the bishops of the dioceses where the brothers are sent.
