THE ORDER OF ST IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH

The Order is an organization of faithful Orthodox Christian men and women of this Archdiocese, age 18 years or more. The purpose of the Order of St. Ignatius of Antioch is solely to strengthen in every Orthodox Christian way the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America as a spiritual, administrative and functional entity.

This is to be done primarily by the raising of serious amounts of additional moneys for the Antiochian Archdiocese, on a continuing basis, primarily from dedicated individual men and women of the Antiochian Archdiocese, and from such fund-raising activities which they undertake. This money in their entirety will be used to initiate or increase Archdiocesan-level activities in selected strategically important areas of endeavor. Spiritual strengthening of the Antiochian Archdiocese and its members will be enhanced directly by the serious and continuing commitment of members of the Order.
