SOCIETY OF ST PAUL   SSP

   The Society of St Paul began in 1958 in Gresham, Oregon.  Early ministry included nursing homes, a school, and commissary work in the Mid-East and Africa.  In 1959, SSP was the first community for men to be recognized by the canons of the Episcopal Church in the United States.  The brothers live a life of prayer and are dedicated to works of mercy, charity and evangelism.

  In 1976, the order moved its mother house and the novitiate of the monastery to Palm Desert, California, providing facilities for a retreat and conference center until 1996.

  In 2001, the brothers moved to St Paul’s Cathedral in San Diego.  In particular, we are involved at St Paul’s Senior Homes and Services, the Uptown Faith Community Services, Inc., Dorcas House, a foster home for children whose parents are in prison in Tijuana, Mexico, and St Paul’s Cathedral ministries.
