The Society of St. Pius X in
Ireland is a Catholic priestly institute with a priestly apostolate,
canonically approved as a "society of common life without vows."
The only members of the Society in Ireland are the priests
incardinated in the Society and living in the priories of the
Society.
The faithful attending our
churches and chapels are not members of the Society, neither are the
priests and religious from other dioceses, orders, congregations, or
institutes who may collaborate eventually in our apostolate. The
Society is not responsible for their actions, writings, or declarations,
and none of them speaks for or represents the Society. Similarly,
nobody can speak for or represent the faithful attending our
chapels.
The General superior and the
District superior are responsible only for their priests, and
they exercise their authority exclusively over them and over their
apostolate in Ireland. The superiors of the Society are not the
superiors of the faithful, they are the ecclesiastical superiors of
the priests.
The Society in Ireland has no
other publications at the present time -February 2007- than the following: the St. John's Bulletin, the
monthly letter from the superior, the
Irish Crusader, and the Handmaids Bulletin; it distributes
as well The Angelus magazine and The Catholic newspaper. The
Society in Ireland does
not endorse directly or indirectly any other publication .
The Society in Ireland is not
affiliated with any organization or publication, religious,
educational, cultural, or political, and it does not endorse
directly or indirectly any religious, educational, cultural, or
political association.
Any contrary claim by individuals
or associations is a fraudulent one.
NOTE
CONCERNING COLLECTIONS AND PRINTED MATERIAL

and the distribution of printed material in
the churches, chapels, and mass centres of the Society of St. Pius
X in Ireland are subject to the

Rosary Association in Dublin. No other collections are permitted

The purpose of this notice is to make the faithful aware that any
other eventual requests for funds and distribution of
