Communities of the Order"The [Holy] Spirit, who at different times has inspired numerous forms of consecrated life, does not cease to assist the Church, whether by fostering in already existing institutes a commitment to renewed faithfulness to the founding charism, or by giving new charisms to men and women of our own day so that they can start institutions responding to the challenges of our times." (POPE JOHN PAUL II Vita Consecrata article 62 March 25, 1996) The Purpose of this page is to introduce the viewer to some of the established Communities in Australia and other parts of the world. This webpage will be expanded to include more and more Communities -- as these Communities become more established in their locality. There are a number of Communities around the world -- in various stages of growth including those who are only in the initial stages of development -- this is the majority. There are also a number who are composed of only a few families of the Third Branch but who are not yet fully functioning. What follows is a web-portrait of some of the lived experiences of diverse families and young people who desire to live a vowed life in the Religious Order of Saint Charbel.The Communities referred to below have a certain history and documentation including photos and articles -- which have helped us in making a web presentation possible. With time we hope to include more and more details on all of our Communities -- in order to show the fruits and vibrancy of God's work around the world. Australia
