Communiqué from the General House of the Society of Saint Pius X concerning the Nov. 22, 2018 meeting between Cardinal Ladaria and Fr. Pagliarani.

As time goes on, we cannot help but realize how Christian families are the building blocks of healthy societies. Allow me to simply echo our founder, Archbishop Lefebvre, who called for a crusade of the families 40 years ago in his Jubilee sermon.

At the close of its General Chapter, the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X calls to mind the importance and timeliness of the declaration made by its founder, Marcel Lefebvre, on November 21, 1974.  More than 50 years of the Church’s “self-destruction” allows one to fully appreciate the soundness of that declaration, which the Society embraces in its entirety:

In the month of June, we celebrate Father's Day, which has very deep Catholic roots in the Feast of St. Joseph, foster father of Christ. In the Society of Saint Pius X, June is designated as the month when we welcome to the Altar of Christ new fathers—spiritual fathers—for the faithful. The cultivation of vocations is paramount for the propagation of the sacraments. We look to the faithful for their prayerful and financial support in the cultivation of priestly vocations at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary.

Religious & Liturgical Riches:

Dear friend of the Society, It was a tumultuous year, filled with great expectations and great confusion. 

The Brothers of the SSPX are a vital part of the fabric of the fraternal Society. Can you assist the Novitiate with your prayers and support?

The missionary spirit is alive and well through the tireless sacrifices of our teachers - can you help preserve Catholic education?

Catholics would do well to take stock of the many blessings God has bestowed upon us over the past 12 months while preparing for the year to come. 

The SSPX in its retreats follows the legacy of Fr. Ludovic-Marie Barrielle
