In addition to its purpose of ransoming Christian captives, a special dedication to the mystery of the Holy Trinity has been a constitutive element of the Order’s life from the very outset.
Papal documents refer to the Founder only as “Brother John”, but Tradition identifies him as John of Matha, whose Feast Day is Celebrated on 17 December.
