Who We Are |
| The Brothers & Sisters of Charity is a public association of the faithful in the Little Rock Diocese of Arkansas. The Community has two basic expressions; one is the integrated monastic expression where celibates and families live a monastic communal life at the Mother House in Eureka Springs; the other is the Domestic Expression which is comprised of laity and clergy, singles, religious and families who reside in their own homes. |
OUR FOUNDER JOHN MICHAEL TALBOT
| The Brothers and Sisters of Charity has about 37 members in Arkansas and another 500 worldwide. The Brothers and Sisters of Charity is the only community of it's kind in North America with canonical status from the Roman Catholic Church. It has been formally recognized as a Public Association of the Faithful and is one of ten communities around the globe to encompass celibate brothers and sisters as well as single people, married couples and families. Though the latter are permitted greater latitude, the essentials are the same. All take vows of chastity, poverty and obedience appropriate with their state in life. |
