Our Mission
The Jungmann Society is an international professional association of Jesuits with academic training and expertise in liturgy and its allied arts. It has been founded as a response of the Society of Jesus to the Church’s urgent call for a new evangelization of the world’s many different cultures through worship, scholarship, and dialogue. Its goal is to promote the renewal of the Church’s liturgical life as a central dimension of the Church’s mission to preach the gospel effectively in today’s world.
Fr. Josef Andreas Jungmann, SJ
(16 November 1889 – 26 January 1975) was a prominent Jesuit priest and liturgist. He was an influential advocate of the Liturgical Movement, and is known for his 2-volume history Mass of the Roman Rite, which contributed to informing the reforms to the Mass during and following the Second Vatican Council, as well as his work in the post-Vatican II catechetical movement in the Catholic Church.
