The Society of Catholic Priests
  Whether the question is developing and honoring a personal rule of life that offers stability - or finding a way to help a parish comprehend the depth and the riches of the faith we carry- to worship, to think and to act out of the gracious heritage that is ours- these are not projects that an individual can easily sustain without collegial support.  

 
  The SCP exists to help you flourish as a priest in the Catholic Tradition of the Church and to encourage spiritual growth and Catholic Evangelism. While SCP members belong to a variety of organizations which undertake campaigning this is not currently felt to be the raison d’etre of SCP, which focuses on priestly support and formation for its members.
 
  We thank you for visiting and hope to hear from you.






Many of the images on the website are in black and white and evoke the past.  We live, however, in color and plan for the future.  How do we understand the past, find what is essential in our tradition, and let it inform our shared future?  We open the question to you. 
Life in the Society
 theSCP Chapters and Structure
 
   The Society consists of chapters, each covering one or more dioceses, organized in such a way as to enable the Society's common life to flourish.  These chapters are grouped into a province (US and Canadian chapters are part of the North American province).
 
   Chapters are expected to meet regularly no less than three times per year for the offering of a Mass, for fellowship, and for study/discussion.  The concelebration of the chapter Mass is commended as a laudable practice and is encouraged as witnessing to the corporate nature of Christ's priesthood.
 
   An annual meeting shall be held at the provincial level which shall also incorporate an annual general meeting for Society business.
