Districts

In the organizational structure of the Society of St. Pius X, the district is the equivalent of a religious province, a territorial division often coinciding with the geographical boundaries of a nation.

Each district is under the supervision of a district superior, appointed by the Superior General and his council for a renewable six-year term. He is entrusted the direction of the apostolate in his territory, according to the Statutes and spirit of the Society.

He is also responsible for the wise pastoral, spiritual, and temporal administration of the different apostolates: priories, schools, retreat houses, publications, associations of the faithful, etc. His main task is the care for the communities of priests working in the district.
