District Newsletter

Helping families educate their children, especially by the running of schools, has long been a priority of the Society of St. Pius X...

The Rosary Crusade was successful, at least in numbers but, I trust that it was also, much more importantly so, in the eyes of Our Blessed Mother. Bishop Fellay announced Easter Sunday at Econe, that the 12 million rosaries were greatly exceeded. We will give you the final world-wide number of rosaries offered, as soon as we receive it.

I would like, in this letter to develop this point, which is essential in understanding the crisis in the Church as well as the positions of the Society of St. Pius X...

We might wonder: “Why do we need a consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary? Why is it so important for our souls, our families, our whole district, even our country?”

The Society of St. Pius X will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year. The Society was founded and approved in the diocese of Fribourg on November 1, 1970—and, despite the difficulties and the crisis in the Church, it now exists throughout the world...

The season of Advent is a time during which we prepare ourselves for the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Through our prayers and sacrifices we open our hearts and our souls to receive Our Savior, and to let His many graces reach us. The modern world in which we live will not truly celebrate Christmas...

We have just celebrated the Feast of Christ the King; an occasion to honor Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of Kings, and also to renew our desire and will to restore everything in Our Lord Jesus Christ. The dogma that Our Lord Jesus Christ is King, not only of individuals but also of nations, is one of the principal dogmas denied in modern society and even in the Catholic Church today...

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary—an occasion, especially this year with the Rosary Crusade, to redouble our prayers and sacrifices. I am sure that it is not necessary to point out the power of the Holy Rosary; we have all seen with our previous Crusades, the effects of praying the rosary generously...

On many occasions, in fact in all her apparitions, Our Lady requested that we add penance to our prayers. “Prayer and penance,” she admonished at Rue du Bac (1830), La Salette (1846), Lourdes (1858), Fatima (1917). One after the other, the same message was repeated as a preparation for the enormous Crisis that would shake the world and even the Church...

In a few weeks, following a hopefully restful summer break, the schools of the Society of St. Pius X across the United States will again open their doors to the many children of our faithful, ready to begin a new year of study. I would like, first of all, to thank all the benefactors who help to make this possible. To keep our schools open each year is a financial miracle...
