What is the Third Order?

The Third Order Secular was established for those lay faithful who wish to share the spirit and charism of the Religious Family of the Incarnate Word. Members of the Third Order not only share the spirit of the Institute, but also the desire to attain holiness within their own vocations and to guide other men and women, especially their families, to be “other Christs” in the world, participating in the redemptive work of the one Redeemer of mankind, Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word.
