The Jungmann Society is an international professional association of Jesuits with academic training and expertise in liturgy and its allied arts. It has been founded as a response of the Society of Jesus to the Church's urgent call for a new evangelization of the world's many different cultures through worship, scholarship, and dialogue. Its goal is to promote the renewal of the Church's liturgical life as a central dimension of the Church's mission to preach the gospel effectively in today's world.
