From
the District Office
By
Rev. Fr. J. Violette SSPX, District Superior
Dear
Faithful,
The
coming New Year will be one of great importance for the Society of
St Pius X. Indeed next July the different district, seminary superiors
and superiors of autonomous houses will meet for the general chapter.
This
general chapter meets every 12 years to discuss the affairs of our
Society and one of its most important duties is to elect the superior
general and his two assistants who will guide the SSPX for the next
12 years. This is obviously of the greatest importance for the SSPX
but also for Tradition, since the superior general is the one responsible
for relations with Rome. It also therefore affects you.
Therefore
I urge you not only to pray for the success of this chapter, but I
would like to ask you also to offer your First Friday and First Saturday
devotions of the coming year first for the election and after in thanksgiving.
The SSPX is consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Sorrowful
and Immaculate Heart of Mary. What better devotions than that of the
first Fridays and Saturdays which they asked for and for which they
promised so many graces for the conversion of sinners and their triumph
in the Church and society.
