Numeraries

Numeraries are members of the Catholic Organization called Opus Dei who commit to living celibately and dedicating their lives fully to their spiritual and work pursuits. They typically are laypeople—meaning not priests—who choose to integrate their faith deeply into their everyday professional and personal activities. By doing so, they aim to unite their work and faith, seeking holiness through their daily responsibilities. Numeraries often participate in communal living arrangements, attend spiritual formations, and support the organization's mission of promoting Christian values in society. Their commitment emphasizes personal sanctification through ordinary life and work.
