The Secular Institute Pius X or Pius X Secular Institute (ISPX), is a Roman Catholic men's Clerical Secular Institute of Consecrated Life of Diocesan Right headquartered in Charlesbourg, Quebec City, Canada.
History
It was established by Henri Roy in 1939 in Manchester, New Hampshire.[1] A secular institute is an organization of individuals who are consecrated persons (professing the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience) and live in the world, unlike members of a religious institute, who live in community.
