Summary
The Society of St. Justin Martyr was founded in 2005 as a confraternity by English Catholics who were previously Anglicans. Their main purpose is to pray in pre-Reformation places where Catholic worship once occurred, focusing on the spiritual reparation for past wrongs committed during and before the Reformation period. Founded members Graeme Jolly (Master of the Society) and Antony Pinchin (Society Chamberlain) explained their mission in a Register interview. They aim to honor those who worshipped there by praying a Pater Noster, Ave Maria, and Gloria Patri with intentions for unity within the Church. The society welcomes new members through its website and has grown internationally since its founding. Their ultimate goal is to bring intercessory power of the entire Catholic community to specific places, emphasizing prayer for divine will to be done.
