Are there any members of Secular Institutes out there?

I am interested in finding out more about this. I have only recently heard about this vocation.

They certainly exist, but I don’t think we have any members of SI’s here on Catholic Answers Forums

I looked into secular institutes at an earlier point in my life. One of the requirements most of them had was that their members lived “hidden” lives, with only their closest family and maybe friends knowing that they were in lifelong vows.

There could be dozens of people on CAF who are members of secular institutes. If they are living their vows and the constitutions of their institute, their vowed life would be unknown to the rest of us.

You’ve probably already seen this website, but just in case, here is a link to a page about secular institutes in the United States.
