They Seek To Inject Principles Of Their Faith Into Worldly Activities

Known as Secular Institutes, they blend devotion with professional careers, operate privately, and avoid public garb. Leaders say the movement has grown since 1947, with about 15,000 to 20,000 worldwide and under 1,000 in the United States, led by Father Harthegen who notes most members are women.
