Community Life
The members who take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and live in community are called domus members (from the Latin for "house"). These are comparable to the "numerary" members of the Personal Prelature of Opus Dei. Priest members live in the celibate men's communities and serve the sacramental needs of the members of Miles Jesu. The communities of celibate women have their own houses.
Some domus members work in professions like the numeraries of Opus Dei, other domus members dedicate themselves to the various apostolates of Miles Jesu such as the "Path To Rome Conference Series", the cause of canonization of Queen Isabel the Catholic, or work to promote vocations to Miles Jesu.
Vinculum members (from the Latin for "bond" or "link"), can be married, single or widowed. They do not take the religious vows of the domus members and do not live in these communities, but they are members of the Miles Jesu family.
