Priestergebetsverein And The Devotion To The Sacred Heart

Personal devotion to Our Lady, public devotions with sermons twice a month, and mutual admonition. Its journal is the "Priester-Konferenz-Blatt".
At Innsbruck there is a confraternity connected with the Jesuit College entitled "Priester-gebets-verein" (Priest Prayer Association) , consisting of priests and seminarians in theology.
The essential object of the association is to maintain the bonds of spiritual companionship established in the seminary when the young priests leave to take up their pastoral work. The means employed are prayer (particularly associated devotion to the Sacred Heart) and correspondence (the periodical of the confraternity being sent to members, and members writing to the committee at least once a year).

Hi Joseph,
