Structure
An association of priests inseparably united to F-XF3805 - Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei (Opus Dei). Priests incardinated in Opus Dei are automatically members of the Priestly Society. In addition, priests and deacons already incardinated in a diocese may join the Priestly Society, in response to a vocation to live their ministry in their diocese according to Opus Dei's spirit, while remaining entirely and exclusively dependent upon their bishop. The Prelate of Opus Dei is President General of the Priestly Society of the Holy Cross.
