Society Of The Holy Cross
The Society of the Holy Cross (SSC) is an international Anglo-Catholic society of priests with members in the Anglican Communion and the Continuing Anglican Movement. The society's name is abbreviated as SSC from the initials of the society's Latin name, Societas Sanctae Crucis.
The society is not to be confused with the Roman Catholic Priestly Society of the Holy Cross, which is an association of Opus Dei, the Congregation of Holy Cross, (CSC), another Roman Catholic religious congregation, nor with the Society of the Holy Cross (Korea) (SHC), an order of nuns within the Anglican Church of Korea, nor with the Sisters at Tymawr Convent (SSC).
