“What are ‘Canons Regular’?” is probably one of the questions that people most frequently have in their minds when they hear of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius. And this shouldn’t be surprising, for few Catholics these days are acquainted with the many facets and rich variations of the religious life.

The Canons Regular of St. John Cantius:

• were founded in 1998 by Fr. C. Frank Phillips, C.R., with the approval of Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., and the approval of the Congregation of the Resurrection.

• have members from across the United States and Canada.

• practice a sacramental and liturgical apostolate within the context of parish ministry.

• offer the liturgy of the Roman Rite in English as well as the Mass according to the liturgical books of 1962.

• preserve and foster the devotional, musical, catechetical, and artistic traditions of the Catholic Church.

• live in community under the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, following the rule of St. Augustine.
