Our aim
To support priests with daily prayer and kindness, and to love Christ the Supreme and Eternal High Priest.
Get to know our mission
The Bethany Mission
It grew out of the charism of the community of the Sisters of the Bethany Family – whose Founding Father is Fr Józef Małysiak SDS – and is the fruit of the adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament for the intention of priests.
We share our charism with the whole Church, and so we bring together lay people and clergy who pray for priests alongside us.
We run a number of initiatives meant to strengthen priests in their struggle for holiness and apostolic zeal. We also wish to form the hearts of the faithful, so that they may live by the power of the common priesthood.

O my beloved daughters! I wanted you to be a support in prayer for priests in their difficult service, so that they could count on your help in parish work. For you a priest is another Christ, yet at the same time an ordinary and weak man. You need to remember this.
