St Joseph’s Young Priests Society
The St. Joseph’s Young Priests’ Society is a lay Catholic association in the Church, established in Ireland in 1895. The Patron of the Society is St. Joseph, and the Society’s purpose is to help provide the church with priests for today and tomorrow, and to help its members understand and live out their own vocation to witness to Christ and share their faith.

Today, there are branches in many parishes throughout Ireland. The Society has received encouragement for its work from successive Popes and its constitution has been approved by the Irish Bishops.

Members pray regularly for all students preparing for the priesthood, and are asked to make a modest contribution (50p per month) to the Society, and to invite others to do the same.
