What is a Tertiary?

Tertiaries are ordinary women and men called to live out their Christian lives in their own homes and communities, but who have a deep connection to an established religious community and who follow that community’s Rule of Life.

Tertiaries of the Order of the Holy Paraclete are called by the Holy Spirit to follow a Rule of Life based on that of the Sisters. We are encouraged to develop a regular rhythm of prayer, following the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We are a very diverse group, but we have in common our calling to this way of living according to our individual circumstances and our connection with the Sisters of the Order.

The Order is open to anyone, regardless of gender, orientation, or location who feels they may have a calling to this way of life. Our members come from the UK and across the world and from many different Christian traditions.
