The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (In Latin: Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri—FSSP) is a group of Traditionalist Catholic priests and seminarians in good standing with the Holy See.
Canonical status
According to Canon law, the FSSP is a "Clerical Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right." Unlike most religious orders, is not an Institute of Consecrated Life, and its members take no religious vows. They make the same promises of chastity and obedience as diocesan priests and, in addition, swear an oath as members of the Society. The Fraternity's Pontifical right status means that it has been established by the Pope and is subordinate only to him, through the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, and not to the local bishops. In this sense its organization and administrative reporting status are similar to those of religious orders of Pontifical Right such as the Jesuits or Dominicans.
Charism
The FSSP consists of priests and seminarians who intend to pursue the goal of Christian perfection according to a specific charism. The FSSP's specific charism is to offer the Mass and other sacraments according to the Roman Rite, as it existed before the Second Vatican Council. Thus, the Fraternity uses the Roman Missal, the Roman Breviary, the Roman Pontifical, and the Roman Ritual, according to the editions of 1962, the last before the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council were promulgated.

The Fraternity responds to the Holy Father's appeal through an active apostolate in the service of the Church. It seeks to reunite those who have been alienated by liturgical abuse and theological dissent by offering the sacred liturgy according to the Latin liturgical books of 1962, and by offering catechetical teaching within the living Tradition of the Church.
