Our calling: A life of devotion

The Society of Traditional Old Catholics proudly supports the Faithful Companions of Mary, a devoted congregation of women who embrace a simple yet profound rule of life. These women represent a vital spiritual dimension within our society, living consecrated lives wherever they are called to serve.

Following the Benedictine spirit

The Faithful Companions of Mary is a unique dispersed order of women, deeply rooted in the venerable traditions of St Benedict. We are an essential and cherished part of The Society of Traditional Old Catholics, bringing a spirit of prayer and service to our community and beyond.

Vows, dedication, and self-support

Our Companions undertake vows and commit to a consecrated life within their own homes and work environments. We are a self-supporting community, deeply committed to Christ’s mission. Each year, we renew our private vows, strengthening our dedication to God and our service to others.

"The Faithful Companions of Mary bring a beautiful and profound spiritual depth to our society, truly living out their commitment to Christ's mission in every aspect of their lives."

Rt Revd John Lycett, Bishop of The Society of Traditional Old Catholics
