Mission and Ministry

The heart of the Society of Saint Edmund’s mission is serving where the need is greatest, a credo that has led us to four core ministries: Social Justice, Education, Spiritual Renewal and Pastoral Ministry. Edmundites have an active presence at Saint Michael’s College (Colchester, VT), alternative schools such as Bishop Perry Middle School (New Orleans, LA) outreach missions that help the poor such as Edmundite Missions (Selma, AL) retreat centers at St. Anne’s Shrine (Isle La Motte, VT) and Saint Edmund's Retreat on Enders Island (Mystic, CT) and in parishes throughout Vermont as well as Selma and New Orleans. It is through these core ministries that we live out a faith-based life of service and make a real difference in people’s lives by bringing them closer to God.


Who We Are
“We want people to get involved with us to feel that they’re an intimate part of the Church and that the Church is for them. We’re very much in the servant model. We engage people in their lives and try to serve them in their human needs.”

— Father Richard Myhalyk, SSE
