Affiliated Members

The Community of the Beatitudes has members of all states of life. “Just as the three Divine Persons live in perfect communion without, however, either confusing or losing the character proper to each one, in the same way our communion [of the states of life] is oriented towards a dynamic unity, allowing each person to blossom in his or her own vocation” (Statutes, 8).

There are lay members who are fully integrated into the Community through the lay branch. But beyond that, many close friends also make a more formal commitment as Affiliated Members:

Friends of the Lamb

The Friends of the Lamb are lay or cleric members of all ages who want to live according to the spirituality of the Beatitudes. Making an annual commitment, they express their desire to lead a life of regular prayer based on the Community’s liturgy and actively participate in the life and mission of the Community.

Disciples of the Lamb

The Disciples of the Lamb are young adults (ages 18-30) who choose Christ as the only Lord and Master of their lives. They bear witness to their belonging to the Community through their faith and their concrete commitment in the Church and in society. Here in Denver, they gather with us on Wednesday evenings once a month for Vespers, dinner, formation, and night prayer.

Fraternity of Secular Clerics

The members of this priestly fraternity are diocesan or religious priests who wish to live the spirituality of the Community in their place of mission. They meet in local fraternity with priests of the Community to live fraternal times and common missions.
