Society of Christ SChr – Polish

The Society of Christ, by fulfilling its mission in the Catholic Church takes part in the apostolate of caring for the souls of Polish people who live outside the borders of Poland. Spirituality of the Society of Christ, which follows from monastic and priestly life, is based on the charism of its founder – Servant of God Cardinal August Hlond – as well as the Society’s mission. It also rises out of subsequent traditions that have been built by the Society, especially under the leadership of its first superior general and co-founder – Servant of God Rev. Ignacy Posadzy. The broadly defined concern for Polish emigrants is not confined to performing pastoral duties only. Apart from the pastoral work, great importance is also attached to the cultivation of the patriotic spirit, social life and the Polish culture.
