The Missionary Society of St. James the Apostle, founded by Richard Cardinal Cushing in 1958, is an international organization of diocesan missionary priests who volunteer 5+ years to service in Peru.  In our 60+ years of service, the St. James Society has welcomed members from the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, Ghana and the Philippines. We depend upon the prayers and the financial support of people like you who share our interest in spreading the good news of Jesus Christ, & to create a better world for people who have been called “the poorest of the poor."
