Priestly Society of the Holy Cross

This article is about the Catholic society affiliated with Opus Dei. For the Anglican society, see Society of the Holy Cross.

The Priestly Society of the Holy Cross is an association of Catholic diocesan priests which is integrally united to the Prelature of Opus Dei.

Part of the society is made up of the clergy of the Opus Dei prelature-members of the priesthood who fall under the jurisdiction of the Opus Dei prelature are automatically members of the Priestly Society. Other members in the society are traditional diocesan priests-clergy who remain under the jurisdiction of their diocesan bishop. They have the same vocation to holiness through ordinary life and work as all the other members of Opus Dei, with a special concern of promoting priestly vocation and being "a leaven of unity with the bishops, and of fraternity within the presbyterate" of their diocese.
