The Canons Regular of the Immaculate Conception is a
congregation of priests and brothers, living in common
according to the Rule of Saint Augustine. They live a
spirituality founded on Christ and His saving mystery
celebrated in the richness of the Sacred Liturgy. In
the Brief, “Salutare Maxime,” of February 11, 1913,
Pope St. Pius X approved definitively the Canons
Regular of the Immaculate Conception and he eagerly
recommended the religious and community life to the
parochial clergy. The perfection and sanctification of
the clergy by means of common life, liturgical prayer
and apostolic penance was the constant endeavor and
undivided aim of Dom Adrien Gréa, the Founder of the
Canons Regular of the Immaculate Conception.
