Le Royaume Béni des Ste. Jeanne et Ste. Thérèse (SJST) is "The Kingdom Blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse" serving as a refuge for those seeking relief from the dark, cold, secular culture usurping our world. Our goal is to bring together like-minded people from around the world to establish what we like to call a "supra" culture (which is a more edifying way of saying "sub-culture") that reflects our joy in living out our traditional Catholic faith and that emanates the radiance of a Kingdom imbued with "the most beautiful color in the heavens," that is, the combined spirituality of St. Joan of Arc and St. Thérèse of Lisieux as they guide us in their saintly and sisterly care on the Trail of the Dogmatic Creed to the center of the Immaculate Heart of Mary where Jesus Christ is enthroned in all of His glory.

We want to build an oasis, a refuge, for Catholics who want their religion, their way of life, their Queen, and their King even if it is only through social media for the time being. Ultimately, we would like to form actual groups in regions around our country and world. These oases would be "Royal Outposts" obedient to the Church and Jesus Christ her capstone, her head, and her bridegroom despite being surrounded by a hostile culture, in much the same way that royal outposts such as Vaucouleurs or Mont Saint-Michel remained loyal to Charles VII despite being surrounded by hostile Burgundians during St. Joan of Arc's time.

Our unifying and driving force might be reflected in the phrase, "I have loved what you loved," referring to our devotion to our dynamic saintly duo, Joan and Thérèse. We love them, study their lives and spirituality, seek their sisterly patronage, and allow them to guide us in the deepest sense to our True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin according to St. Louis de Montfort. That is really the substance of this Kingdom Blessed of St. Joan and St. Thérèse; that is, it is a reflection of the most powerful and all-to-infrequently tapped Marian devotion in Church history. It is the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in the center of Mary's Immaculate Heart. That is where we want to live.

That "we love what they loved" might mean, subjectively, something different to each person. I compare St. Joan and St. Thérèse to rare jewels that when exposed to the light of the Dogmas, Traditions, and Scriptures of our religion, explode in a variety of magnificent colors. That "we love what they loved"  means objectively speaking, of course, that we all are obedient to our Holy Father the Pope and the Magisterium of the Church.

For me, "loving what they loved" has transformed me into a "Fils du Royaume de France Mystique," or, a son of the Kingdom of Mystical France. I am devoted to St. Joan and St. Thérèse, to the Queen of France the Virgin Mary, to the King of France Jesus Christ, and to the temporal extension of that royal supremacy in the form of the French Monarchy now in exile under the Republic. I also like to use the French language when I can. Though my French is poor, I use it from time to time simply because it is the language of St. Joan and St. Thérèse, of "La France Mystique," and is one way for me to offer them my heartfelt honor of dulia.

If you would like to know more about all this including details on how the Kingdom is organized, or even my own testimonials on these matters, then go to our official blog, "St. Joan and St. Thérèse." There is no shortage of material there. Also visit my author's webpage, "The Dove and Rose." Please join me on Facebook as well!

Will the above be your experience? Who knows. If you are interested, we have a fun and somewhat tongue-in-cheek way of helping you identify your level of interest on our "Join the Kingdom" page! Note how inclusive we are! One does not even need to be a Catholic to visit our Kingdom and spend time here!

About S.T. Martin
("Le Ministre d'Affaires du Royaume")
("The Minister of the Kingdom's Affairs")
(He gave himself that title - but - who else is going to do it?)

"Le Royaume" was founded by S.T. Martin, a lay Catholic in the diocese of Chicago, IL, USA.

Mr. Martin holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Princeton University and a Master's degree in public and private management from Yale University.

He was an executive consultant for two well known international firms before taking over the head of operations at a major food service equipment manufacturer.  Later promoted to the position of President and General Manager, he developed both domestic and international markets for the well known brand. His professional career has taken him around the world, including China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, India, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, England, and Brazil. S.T. Martin now splits his time between teaching business strategy and corporate finance at the university level and promoting the work of the Catholic Church from his humble position as a lay person.

S.T. Martin is fully committed to the traditional teachings of the Church in union with our Holy Father, the Pope, and the Magisterium of the Church.

For a more detailed account of his story, read, "On how I became Catholic and devoted to Sts. Joan, Thérèse, and the French Monarchy." Also make sure to visit S.T.'s blog, the one that started it all, "St. Joan and St. Thérèse"!
