Saint Josemaría

Work, family life, and the ordinary events of each day are opportunities for drawing close to Christ, and making Him known to others.

Opus Dei was founded in 1928 in Spain and is currently established in 66 countries.

Opus Dei provides spiritual formation aimed at helping people develop their spiritual life and apostolate. These activities are held in Opus Dei centers or in a church, office or private home.

Opus Dei has around 90,000 members, both men and women. 98% are laypeople, most of whom are married. The remaining 2% are priests.

Opus Dei's work of spiritual formation complements the work of local churches. People who join Opus Dei or attend its activities continue to belong to their local dioceses.
