District Newsletter

The American District of the United States Society of Saint Pius X extends its policy: “Plan to Protect” to all people who are victims of abuse or those wishing to submit their complaints concerning the comportment of one of its members or employees.

For the past week, the Society of Saint Pius X has been the subject of a media campaign conducted by the Church Militant website. It has been accused of having “sympathy for perverts” (sic) and of covering up for some of its members or employees who may have been guilty of misconduct. This is not the first campaign, and it will certainly not be the last. Already, in July 2019, similar accusations had been made against the Society’s authorities by Church Militant.

Pilgrimages have been an integral part of the fabric of Catholic life from the very beginning.

  Under the merciful eye of the good Lord in the sun-like monstrance, Christian faithful are praying, adoring, and singing the praises of their God through thick and thin, through land and cities. 

Summer is always a good time to rest the mind and exercise body and soul. This summer, many camps gathered boys or girls in tents or around the fire pit.

The US District Superior of the Society of Saint Pius X writes to faithful about the abuse scandal, the crisis of the Faith shown by the Amazon Synod, and what the SSPX is striving for in its work:

The term ecclesiola (Greek for “little church”) has been used from the dawn of Christianity to designate the domestic Church. It refers to the family, the smallest body of believers. Our early Church Fathers understood that the home was fertile ground for faith and holiness.

Never have priests been so under-appreciated, misunderstood, and, in many instances, reviled. But never have they been so needed!

Dear Friends,

In the US District June Newsletter, Fr. Wegner observes the family celebrations that take place each Spring, recognizing Father's Day especially.
