Society of St James the Apostle

The Missionary Society of St. James the Apostle, founded in 1958 by Richard Cardinal Cushing, is an international organization of diocesan missionary priests dedicated to serving in Latin America, particularly Peru. With a diverse membership from countries such as the United States, Canada, England, and Australia, the Society focuses on spreading the message of Jesus Christ and uplifting communities identified as the poorest of the poor.

Over the past six decades, the Society has relied on the prayers and financial support of its partners to continue its mission. Through various programs, fundraising efforts, and volunteerism, the organization engages volunteers for five-year commitments to execute their work in mission fields across South America.
