2013

Fr. Rostand's May-June letter
"We never give more honor to Jesus than when we honor His Mother, and we honor her simply and solely to honor Him all the more perfectly." By these words St. Louis Marie de Montfort invites us to go to Our Lady as a way leading us to Our Lord Jesus Christ... 5-2-2013

Fr. Rostand's Easter Appeal letter
I want to ask you a simple – yet profound – question. Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without your local chapel or mission?... In this season of renewal and thanksgiving for the sacrifice of our Lord, I’m asking you to consider a worthy opportunity for almsgiving and make a special gift to your chapel... 3-28-2013

Fr. Rostand's March-April letter
St. Pius X, our patron saint, bore a special devotion to St. Joseph, exalting him especially in the liturgy. He prescribed for instance special celebrations and commemorations of St. Joseph... 3-1-2013

The year in review: SSPX-2012: parts 1-4
Exclusive video interview with Fr. Rostand

Now, I think in this time of crisis where we find ourselves for so long, we must keep these two principles together: attachment to Rome, and refusal of these tendencies in the Church today.... 2-15-2013

Fr. Rostand's January-February letter
As we begin the year 2013, I would like to wish you a most holy New Year, a year placed under the protection of Our Lord and His Blessed Mother, a year rooted in the Faith, a year during which we may meditate these words of St. John: “For God so loved the world, as to give His only-begotten Son.” 1-29-2013

SSPX USA District press release:
Bishop Fellay's comment "enemies of the Church"

The word “enemies” used by Bishop Fellay is of course a religious one, and refers to anyone who opposes the mission of the Catholic Church and her efforts to fulfill it: the salvation of souls... 1-5-2013

 


2012

SSPX USA District press release:
Bishop Fellay's comment "enemies of the Church"

The word “enemies” used by Bishop Fellay is of course a religious one, and refers to anyone who opposes the mission of the Catholic Church and her efforts to fulfill it: the salvation of souls... 1-5-2013

November-December
When we speak about the threats of the Internet, we first think of the immoralities against the virtue of purity. Obviously, this is a real danger from which everyone must protect himself. Here, however, I would like to draw attention to another risk, specifically “cyber-gossip”...

September
Looking back on those events, it is clear that there was an organized agenda on the part of some, intending to destabilize the SSPX. For years, some small groups - with increasing aggression in recent months - have attacked and tried to undermine the Society...

SOUTH AMERICA DISTRICT SUPERIOR: Fr. Bouchacourt's communiqué concerning Bishop Williamson's Brazilian visit
I would like to clarify that this trip was organized independently of the SSPX. Indeed, according to the directives... only the Superior General, Bishop Fellay in this case, issues mandates to the auxiliary bishops to undertake a pastoral visit... 9-11-2012

ASIA DISTRICT SUPERIOR: Fr. Couture's announcement about Frs. Francois Chazal & Joseph Pfeiffer
These priests have now, on their own initiative, started a resistance group in the USA contrary to all their promises of obedience to God and to the SSPX (made in front of the Blessed Sacrament). The real issue is therefore not a doctrinal one, but one of simple obedience...

July-August
No letter

May-June
Pray. Pray a lot. The work that every Catholic can do is to pray for the Pope, for the Church, for His Excellency Bishop Fellay, and the Society of St. Pius X. There is nothing more urgent to do...

Against the Rumors: Fr. Rostand speaks about the SSPX & Rome
An video interview about the current situation between Rome and the SSPX. No subject was left off the table. From rumors, to open attacks, to the state of the SSPX at large, and in the USA District - this interview covers everything! 6-18-2012

Where do we stand?
The Remnant
interview of Fr. Rostand

We are today in a waiting phase. During the two past years doctrinal discussions took place between the experts of the CDF and those of the SSPX. Even though the discussions remained private, it is not a secret that the two positions were not reconciled. There is still disagreement on doctrinal matters...
5-15-2012

Special Letter of District Superior
I can assure you of the unity which exists in our District, following the line of Archbishop Lefebvre, which continues to be manifested today. Do not be disturbed by media reports, which may prematurely, and without sufficient information, prophesy many things...
5-15-2012

May
Let us remember that it is to our Superior General, and only to him, that has been entrusted by the law of the Church and the will of Archbishop Lefebvre the delicate task of our relations with Rome...

March-April
It is not because of religious freedom, a principle promoted by Vatican II, that we should oppose such a law, but because it is sinful and against the natural and Divine law...

January-February
We ought to keep building the City of God, restoring all things in Christ. There is nothing that can be more pleasing to God than to rebuild His Church, stone by stone...


2011

December
This past year, the United States District has initiated many projects to improve the work of the Society and help the priests in their apostolate...

Fr. Rostand talks about the current situation between the SSPX and Rome... 9-30-2011

June
I would now like to address a few elements about a vocation itself, so as to help the youth make that choice. I would therefore like to explain the elements of every religious or priestly vocation, as well as the signs of a true vocation...

May
On May 1, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI will declare his predecessor, John Paul II, blessed, only six years after his death. This beatification raises many questions and concerns for Catholics today...

April
Having spoken of the principles that must lead us in educating a child from the time of infancy to his coming of age, we will now speak of the age when a young person must make his first major choices in life...

March
In addressing the formation of children, Fr. Rostand continues with what is necessary for the child, now a teenager, to attain maturity: unity of education, need for direction, necessity of pushing them towards Christian ideal, importance of the sacraments, and praying for them

February
The education of children from the early years of the age of reason

Catholic Family News interview with Fr. Rostand on Doctrinal Discussions between Rome & SSPX
The SSPX wants to expose the discrepancy of Vatican II, reaffirm the Traditional teaching of the Church, document everything we state, and respond to the objections. We want to “be a witness to the Faith”. The Society does not want, however, to discuss for the sake of discussing... 2-4-2011 CFN
