How to join…

 

"ORDINARY MEMBERSHIP: Those individual lay faithful who are already spiritual members of the adp-vv Marian Groups of Prayer and who, after a certain amount of experience and spiritual preparation with the pfsgm, wish to become full-time, part-time, or long-distance Lay Missionaries in order to assist the pfsgm more closely and assiduously in their works of evangelization and charity, should explicitly state this desire through a written request. With the approval of the Board of Directors of the adp-vv-fpd Lay Missionaries, under the supervision of their lay President and the Servant General pfsgm (assisted by his pfsgm Board of Directors), the admission of the new member will happen through inscription into the Book of Members, according to one of the three chosen types specified at Art. 4; normally, however, this will only occur after a 6-year trial as a “Spiritual” Missionary (according to whichever of the three category the candidate has selected). The Inscription into the Book of Members will attest to one’s effective juridical membership.

EXTRAORDINARY MEMBERSHIP: Any adp-vv member who is particularly outstanding in virtue and missionary effort can officially join this Association in an extraordinary form even before the end of the 6-year trial period, following the requirements already set forth for inscription into the book of members. Every new associate who is enrolled will commit to observing the norms of this Statute." (cf. Statute of the Lay Missionaries adp-vv-fpd, Article 4a)
