Mission
The Canons Regular of St. John Cantius is a religious community of men dedicated to the restoration of the sacred.
Living in imitation of Christ and radical opposition to the values of the world, they work to restore the sacred in the Church and in their own lives, seeking the sanctification of all.
The mission of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius, in the context of parish ministry, is to help Catholics rediscover a profound sense of the sacred through solemn liturgies, devotions, sacred art, sacred music, as well as instruction in Church heritage, catechetics, and Catholic culture.
