The Pioneer Total Abstinence Association of the Sacred Heart
The Pioneer Total Abstinence Association of the Sacred Heart was founded in the Church of St Francis Zavier, Dublin by Father James Cullen SJ on 27 December 1898.  One of the main celebrations to mark its centenary year was the Mass and Rally in Croke Park, Dublin on 30 May 1999.

Pioneer members take a threefold commitment –

  • To pray daily for the conversion of excessive drinkers
  • To abstain for life from all intoxicating drink
  • To wear the Pioneer Pin publicly; an encouragement for others to do the same
PTAA
The Pioneer Association is not anti-alcohol.  Total abstinence is a personal choice of Pioneers – moderation and self-control is for all.
