The Order of Christ the Saviour (OCS) is an Anglo-Catholic dispersed Dominican community within the Episcopal Church and Anglican Communion.
The Order adopts the Rule of St. Augustine, guiding its members towards a life of prayer, community service, and frequent engagement with the sacraments.
Members of the OCS, who may be Dominican Friars or Sisters, are required to undergo a comprehensive formation process that includes an initial postulancy, a novitiate period, and subsequent professions—simple and solemn.
The community welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds without discrimination based on gender, race, or sexual orientation, and members are expected to uphold vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience.
