We are a newly founded religious community in formation under the direction of three Marianist priests, Frs. George Montague, Robert Hogan, and Joseph Mary Marshall. approved by the Archbishop of San Antonio and located at St. Mary Magdalen's Church in San Antonio, Texas.
"Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Dear woman, here is your son,' and to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' From that time on, this disciple took her into his home." John 19:25-27.
Like the Beloved Disciple, we accept Jesus' gift of the Holy Spirit and place ourselves under the tutelage of his Mother. We strive to grow daily in the virtues of Jesus and Mary and we place ourselves at her service. We want to bring others to know Jesus in a personal way through the empowering love of the Holy Spirit and Marian consecration.
We are:
- Charismatic,
- Marian,
- Brothers and Priests,
- Eucharistic,
- Evangelistic,
- Prayerful, in Action, and
- Faithful to Church Teaching.
We believe that as a community we can embody the message of Jesus and the transforming power of God's love.
One of the charisms of the Holy Spirit is celibacy and a celibate community reminds the church and the world "that we have not here a lasting city" (Hebrews 13:14) "That we are already citizens of the heavenly city" (Phil 3:20). And it frees us to belong totally to the Lord and his service, the service of his people.

initiates called "Companions of the Beloved Disciple" who make a Marian consecration and follow a simple rule of life inspired by the spirituality of the community.
The Archdiocese of San Antonio has provided us with a parish and former convent for our residence. It is St. Mary Magdalen Parish in San Antonio.
If you are a single Catholic man between the ages of 18 and 40, committed to prayer and evangelization, open to the Holy Spirit, a self-starter and not afraid to "live on the edge" for Jesus and the Gospel, contact Fr. George Montague.
