SSPX's General Chapter Elections Results

Today, July 11, saw the reelection of Bishop Bernard Fellay as Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, and the election of Fr. Niklaus Pfluger (currently the German District Superior) as his First Assistant and Fr. Alain Nely (currently the Italian District Superior) as his Second Assistant.

The General Chapter will remain in session until Saturday, July 15, and so the SSPX requests the continuance of the NOVENA [in pdf format] until that time.
