A Priest Forever
Saint Josemaria was ordained a priest on 28 March 1925. Here is the homily he gave on 13 April 1973, on the dignity and meaning of the priesthood.
Priests and the message of Opus Dei
The aim of the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross is to promote the sanctity of the secular clergy according to the spirit and ascetical practice of Opus Dei.
Requirements and Incorporation
Priests incardinated in various dioceses (and deacons who expressly declare their intention to go on to the priesthood) can ask for admission to the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross as Associates or Supernumeraries.
History of the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross
The Priestly Society of the Holy Cross stems from St. Josemaría’s love for diocesan priests and from the foundational event that took place on October 2, 1928, when our Lord made him “see” Opus Dei. The specific origin of the Priestly Society, however, occurred some years later, in 1943.
