The Society of Christ for Polish Migrants (Latin: Societas Christi pro Emigrantibus Polonis; Polish: Towarzystwo Chrystusowe dla Polonii Zagranicznej), abbreviated S.Chr. and also known as the Chrystusowcy, is a Catholic clerical religious congregation of pontifical right for men founded by August Hlond and Ignacy Posadzy on August 8, 1932.
The priests of the Society of Christ serve the religious needs of Polish Catholic communities around the world. They are often asked by diocesan ordinaries to assume responsibility for a diocesan parish which then serves as the center of the diocese's ministry to the Polish community.
