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.

The past few weeks have been full of news concerning the Catholic Church, and specifically the Society of St. Pius X. The first major event and the most important one was, of course, the lifting of the “excommunication” of our four bishops
The past few weeks have been full of news concerning the Society of St. Pius X. You have surely read the letter that Bishop Bernard Fellay wrote to the faithful regarding the lifting of the excommunications by Rome...
One of the things that always strikes me most in visiting our priories, schools and chapels throughout the District, is the numerous young families and the many children—and I can see that there stands the future.

With the month of January comes the start of a new calendar year and, of course, our best wishes. I would like to wish you a very holy new year. There are many good things one can wish for—success in life and business, world peace, harmony in the family, good health… but definitely, the best and most important thing we ought to wish one another is holiness...
