Founded by Fr. Santan Pinto, SOLT, Disciples of Jesus and Mary (DJM) exists to form the laity on a path of holiness. It is a way of following Jesus and Mary into a deeper prayer life, a better understanding of God’s will, and, ultimately, union with the Most Holy Trinity.
The formation process consists of growing in prayer, discernment, and discipleship within the context of a loving and supportive community. As a fruit of this formation, Disciples of Jesus and Mary are better equipped to serve the Church in obedient service and to follow God’s plan for their lives with freedom and joy.
Throughout this formation, disciples meet with a local DJM community twice a month to pray the Rosary and discuss the teachings they’ve been reflecting on. Everyone who completes the formation program is equipped to know, love, and serve God according to His unique plan for them.
Disciples grow in a daily prayer practice and discover their plan of life—as well as how to live it.
Discernment equips you with the tools to recognize God’s will and shows you how to fulfill it.
Discipleship guides you on a lifelong journey of following Jesus, together with Mary, and leads to union with the Blessed Trinity.
To form Disciples of Jesus and Mary who know that God loves them and created them in His image and likeness for a greater purpose—holiness of life and joyful service.
To see a Church full of Disciples of Jesus and Mary who embrace God’s plan for their lives and serve the needs of the Church through ongoing spiritual formation, community, prayer, and good works.
Disciples of Jesus and Mary exists to serve the Church, according to God’s plan, by forming the laity to become active in their local parishes through joyful, obedient service to their pastors.
