The administrative affairs of SSIM are overseen by a governing Chapter, under the leadership of the Master. The Chapter can consist of clergy, religious and laity; the role of Chaplain General being reserved to a Priest, whose primary responsibility is to offer Mass for the intentions of members of SSIM.
Each member of Chapter takes a chapter position under the title of one of the Martyr patrons of SSIM. In line with SSIM having been originally founded in the UK, the patrons are a combination of martyrs of the British Isles and those of the early Roman Church.
