We, the Defenders of Purity, recognize the great spiritual battle of our time as the attack on innocence, love, and friendship — on the purity of men and women. Our goal is to come together as a brotherhood to conquer sin and grow in virtue.
What we are to strive for as Knights of the Holy Queen is not only the greater glory of God, but the greatest glory we can possibly give him. “Whence follows the first and most essential condition, that you offer yourself totally to the Immaculata.” In doing so we are to give her our bodies and souls as her possessions, along with all our daily prayers and chores to offer as gifts to her Son.
As Guardians of the Divine Will, we draw the entirety of our lives into the loving dialogue between God and man through our commitment to purity, consecration, and mission. We make it our priority to offer our entire lives towards the fulfillment of God’s plan of salvation for all men and women. We are missionaries seeking to renew, fortify, and boldly contend for true masculinity in our world today.
Truly we see in the love and concern our brother Francis bore for all creatures, a spirit worthy of imitation. Francis loved each creature as an emanation of his God. Mankind held an especially dear place in Francis’ heart, for they are, as Scripture tells us, created in the very image of God (Genesis 1:26). It is in this way that we must come to see our King, by learning to worship through love of brothers. To this end we endeavor to live the virtues of POVERTY, HUMILITY, JOY, CHARITY, and CHIVALRY in our daily walk together.
There is only one reason for maturing into the man God calls each of us to be. That sole reason, that sole purpose, is to love, know and serve God-to be transformed completely in Jesus Christ. Rather, to let him live perfectly in us. To this end. we look to Jesus Christ as our fountain of grace, as out model of Faith, Hope and Charity. Union with Him is the ultimate goal in our lives. yet He is also the Truth which we seek and the One Who leads us every step along the journey. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
We, as Prince of Peace Household, acknowledge that it is the Holy Spirit, which sparks within us the desire to love God with all our heart, mind, and strength. Since we bear the very name of Christ, we must strive to be like him in every way. Like Christ, we desire to live and be peace. Out of this peace and our individual desires for holiness flows the unity we strive for. This unity should bring us to a place of complete peace with God and one another. Because we are called to perfect union with God, our model is the unity found between the Father and the Son, bound together by the Holy Spirit.
Martyres Regis, or Martyrs of the King, is a household founded upon the desire to be prepared for a physical, “red martyrdom,” if that day should come, while more regularly participating in a daily, “white martyrdom,” of dying to oneself and one’s passions. Specifically, the household does not seek out bodily death, but rather courage in the face of death, spiritual and physical, with the knowledge that our King died and rose to conquer death. Upon the foundation of Martyrdom, the Martyrs build three charismatic pillars of discipline, sincerity, and servitude. The household calls upon the aid of Mary, Queen of Martyrs, as well as that of Saints Sebastian and Thomas More, and Blessed Oscar Romero.

We brothers who are members of the household “Servants of the Savior” will no longer be silent to the mediocrity around us. We have recognized our call to Holiness and have chosen to reject the complacency we see in ourselves, the campus, and the world. Realizing that we can do anything in him that empowers us we will cling to Our Heavenly Father in an intense prayer life searching for the Heart of Christ with no concern for our personal comfort. We are a household formed to answer the call for a New Evangelization and we will bring it to anyone we encounter.
We in the Lion of Judah desire to become disciples of the Lion of Judah.The purpose of household is to be a place of formation for the men who are in Lion of Judah. We want to be a household of men that are whole; both in body and soul. Lion of Judah should be a household that others look to as a model of strength, leadership, and balance.
