Who We Are
The Cor Jesu Society is a Catholic priestly community whose life and ministry are shaped by three primary charisms: a dedication to reverent, traditional Catholic liturgy; a sustained commitment to the study of Scripture and ongoing theological and spiritual formation; and a vowed orientation toward a life of service to the Gospel in daily pastoral ministry. These charisms guide both the spiritual identity of the clergy who belong to the Society and the pastoral character of the worshiping community that has grown around their ministry.
(cont.) The clergy of the Cor Jesu Society understand the celebration of the liturgy as the heart of their priestly identity. The community’s worship life is marked by reverence, beauty, sacramental depth, and attention to the prayerful rhythm of the Church’s tradition. The liturgy is approached not only as ritual action but as a formative and contemplative encounter with the mystery of Christ, shaping both the inner life of the priest and the spiritual experience of the faithful. This commitment to traditional Catholic worship is expressed with pastoral warmth and accessibility, fostering an environment where prayer, silence, music, and proclamation work together toward spiritual attentiveness and devotion.
