Saint Ignatius of Antioch
Consider the Antiochian Village where so many young lives touched by God and
turned around through the love of dedicated camp counselors. Years ago, that
summer camp was just a plot of land in the Pennsylvanian hills. BEcause of the
generosity of the Order, it is now heaven on earth for young people from Mexico
to Canada.
What about the Heritage and Learning Center? It preserves the history of Orthodoxy's
journey to North America and serves as a retreat for the faithful throughout the year.
Thr Order is people of purpose, like St. Ignatius himself who wrote "..toil together,
suffer together, rejoice together as servants of God..." The Order is people who put
feet to their faith, whether by funding missionary efforts, disaster relief, campus
ministries, local outreaches to unwed mothers and kids on the street of by subsidizing
our Clergy Benefits Fund or the Holy Trinity Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
"Come, be apart of our vision for the future and find a new and deeper expression of your faith."
Metropolitan PHILIP
The Order of St. Ignatius welcomes all those who are faithful to the Orthodox Church and her teachings
that are at least 18 years old.
Membership in The Order is available for life at three different ranks:
Knight or Dame is granted with a minimum annual gift of $500.
Knight or Dame Commander is $1,000 per annual gift.
There is also a one-time induction fee of $60 to cover the costs of the handbook, pin, calligraphied
certificate and other related materials. New members are inducted at their local parish, Parish Life
Conferences and the North American Convention by a Bishop.
These donations are made directly to The Order of St. Ignatius which does not include, nor should it
take the place of, contributions to the local church or the the Archdiocese.
A Life Member is one who wished to make a gift of at least $15,000. This gift can be donated in full
or in three equal and consecutive annual donations of $5,000 each. This is a one time gift to The Order
and the principal is invested and the interest is used for our philanthropy.
An Associate Membership can be conferred on an Orthodoc Christian who meets the financial and spiritual
criteria but who is not a member of the Antiochian Archdiocese.
If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact Nabil Jabaji, St. Ignatius coordinator.
