Background

T
he communion of the Public Clerical Association of the Faithful, of Our Lady's Society, has as its model and source the communion of God as Trinity, the unity of the Son to the Father in the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is itself the means to achieve this communion: united to the Son, in the Spirit's bond of love, we are one with our Father. In the very mystery of this communion the Church shines forth as a people made one in the unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Public Clerical Association of the Faithful called the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity is headquartered in the Diocese of Corpus Christi, Texas, U.S.A. It is aggregated to the Priest's Society of Apostolic Life of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity.

Among all of the Orders, Societies and Congregations of the Roman Catholic Church the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity is unique in that it accomplishes its mission to the poor through the activity of Ecclesial Teams made up of clergy, female religious, and laity. What is even more remarkable is the fact that in many instances the lay component of an Ecclesial Team consists of an entire family: father, mother and children. I believe that it is the presence of such lay members on the Ecclesial Teams of SOLT that SOLT has achieved such great success in working with the poor in all the regions of the world.

Purposes

Each member in the Diocesan Public Clerical Association of the Faithful of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity is called to the apostolic life of the Church in the world to honor and glorify the Triune God, to exalt His Majesty and to manifest His Greatness.

We dedicate ourselves as deacons and lay faithful of the Diocesan Public Clerical Association of the Faithful of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity to serving on Ecclesial Teams comprised or priests, deacons, religious and lay faithful. We unite with them in carrying out the pastoral, missionary and ecumenical works of Our Lady's Society. We strive to bring the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven, serving in the spirit of the Gospel. We desire to serve in the sanctification of the world to glorify God the Father in Christ led by the Holy Spirit. Seeking the Kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs, we order them according to the plan of God, continuing the redemptive work of Jesus Christ for the salvation of all by renewing the whole temporal order (by the regeneration and anointing of the Holy Spirit who unites and likens us to Jesus Christ).
