D.T.S.
[Dead Theologians Society]
The Dead Theologians Society is a Catholic apostolate for high school age teens. St. Joseph parish was the first chapter in South Carolina. Through the saints of yesterday, the Dead Theologians Society inspires the youth of today to become the saints of tomorrow. A special charism of the Dead Theologians Society is to pray for the release of the Souls in Purgatory. Its motto is, “Dead to the World, alive in Christ!” This is inspired by Romans 6:11 where St. Paul tells us to be dead to sin but alive in Christ Jesus.
Society members meet at St. Joseph parish to learn the lives of the saints (who are dead by the world’s standards and are certainly alive with Jesus in Heaven!), their heroic virtue and listen to their inspirational writings. Using the interesting and engaging DTS format and through the examples of the saints, young people are catechized and develop positive role models at a time when they are truly needed. In addition, members make use of time honored Catholic prayers, devotions and sacramentals such as, Eucharistic Adoration, the Rosary, the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and more!
In addition, the St. Joseph Chapter invites DTS members to participate in spiritual retreats, community services, and field trips.
