The Society of Saint Edmund (Latin: Societas Patrum S. Edmundi), also known as the Edmundites, is a Catholic clerical religious congregation of pontifical right for men founded in 1843 in Pontigny, France, by Jean Baptiste Muard.

The members also devote themselves to parochial work, to the education of youth in seminaries and colleges, to the direction of pious associations, and to foreign missions.

Members of the Society, based in Pontigny, fled to the United States through Montreal, Canada in 1889 after widespread anticlericalism seized France.

The Edmundites gave up both the school and the parish in Hitchin in 1925 due to financial difficulties, relinquishing control to the Order of Augustinians of the Assumption.

[13][14] In the early 20th century, the congregation had two houses in the United States: a missionary house and apostolic school at Swanton, Vermont, for the training of young men who wish to study for the priesthood and the religious life; and Saint Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont, with 12 fathers, 8 scholastics, and 100 pupils.
