DIRECTOR’S WELCOME
Greetings in the Lord Jesus!
Welcome to the website of the United States District of the Voluntas Dei Institute. You will find a wealth of information about who we are, our spirituality, and our mission in the Church and to the world. The culture of our community is one of inclusivity that welcomes women, men, and clerics to become one family united in charity. In a world that is becoming increasingly more violent and divided, Voluntas Dei offers an alternative vision; one of fellowship, hope, and peace, fostered by positive energy and the absence of criticism and complaint. As a secular institute, our members embrace the joys, hopes, sorrows, and wounds we encounter on the journey - together.
Please contact us if you have questions about our community or if you are interested in joining us. Hospitality is central to who we are, and the doors of our hearts are always ready to greet you virtually or in person.
Peace Upon You,
Fr Anthony Ciorra, IV Dei
Director, Voluntas Dei Institute
United States District
