Sharing the Gospel’s love story.
Through the image and model of the missions of Fr. Thomas Frederick Price, we share the love story of the Gospel in charity and evangelism.
Who is Fr. Thomas Price?
The inspiration and model of our Society, Fr. Thomas Frederick Price was the first Roman Catholic priest to be born in and ordained for North Carolina. He was a missionary till the day he died, traversing the mountains of North Carolina and the wilderness of China and Hong Kong to share the Gospel truth and richness of the Catholic faith.
Fr. Price was born in 1860 to Alfred and Clarissa Price, both converts to the Catholic Church from Methodism and the Episcopal Church respectively. His strong Catholic upbringing formed him with the zeal to become the Tarheel Apostle, ministering to all he could.
In 2012, the Diocese of Raleigh formally opened the cause for canonization of Fr. Thomas Price. The mission of this society is to raise awareness to the devotion, story, and great work of Fr. Thomas Price.
