Au contraire! The Still River community (really communities -- St. Benedict Center, St. Anne House, and St. Benedict Abbey -- but I know that you are referring to "the Center") has regularised with the Diocese of Worcester but they remain very committed to the Dogma (Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus) and to the memory of Fr. Leonard Feeney and Sr. Catherine Goddard Clarke. They remain Feeneyite -- whatever that may mean -- whilst operating within the Novus Ordo as an Ecclesia Dei community.

At one time I was giving very serious consideration to entering the Brothers of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. They are very committed to the Dogma even if they are not as vocal as the Slaves community at Richmond, NH, of which more will follow shortly. Keep in mind that the Dogma is distinct though related to the issue of BOD and BOB which arose as a controversial issue much later than the canonical penalties enacted against Fr. Leonard and the Center.

The Center is a dual community, both men and women, although they live on opposite sides of the Still River Road. The superior is Br. Thomas Augustine, MICM. The Center chapel is one of the TLM centres for the Worcester Diocese.

St. Anne House is a small community of elderly female Slaves. These sisters were generally Slaves from days of Fr. Leonard and Sr. Catherine. They too keep faithful to the Dogma. They are distinct from the female members of the Slaves at the Center. Their religious habit is slightly different from the sisters of the Center.

St. Benedict Abbey uses the Novus Ordo liturgy (in Latin) and merely honors the memory of Fr. Leonard without holding to the Dogma in its strict understanding.

Finally, we come to the Slaves of Richmond, NH, which is also known as the Saint Benedict Center, or "the Center". Like Still River, this is a dual community with Br. Andre Marie, MICM. The habits of the Richmond Slaves is distinctly different from the Still River Slaves, and the Richmond Center is very vocal in its commitment to the Dogma. The Richmond community has a daughter house in Vienna, OH. The Richmond Slaves community had its origins at the time when the unity of the Still River foundation exploded over the question of regularising with the Diocese, use of the Novus Ordo liturgy, and the election of a successor to Fr. Leonard. The Richmond Slaves were under the leadership of Br. Francis, MICM (Dr. Fakhri Maluf), who was the logical successor to Fr. Leonard while a large group of Slaves elected to follow Br. Thomas Augustine as the new superior.

And one addendum -- There is also the Saint Benedict Center-West located in the Los Angeles area. This community was led by the late Br. Leonard Mary. It currently consists of two brothers, one of whom is on an extended stay in Europe. It too has its origins in the division that emerged over leadership to succeed Fr. Leonard.

But, all-in-all, to be a Slave is to be committed to the doctrinal crusade of Fr. Leonard Feeney and Sr. Catherine Goddard Clarke, proclaiming that outside the Catholic Church one cannot be saved and one must be subject to the Church and the Roman Pontiff in order to be saved.

No, the Richmond, NH community has no canonical standing although it does receive, from last I heard, the ministrations of a priest in good and full canonical standing with the Diocese of Manchester -- and this inspite of attacks by the Diocese with lots of bad blood.
