Just got a notice from Fr. Alphonsus cSSr
A couple years ago +Fellay encouraged him to buy land and start a Traditional Redemptorist formation house, to be connected to the SSPX.
After donations and building starts, Menzingen now closed down the formation house and it will now be used only as a retreat house.
Why??? Too much competition for the new SSPX seminary?
Redemptorists are great missionary priests as can be seen from Fr. Alphonsus' youtube contributions.
All PostsRETREATS AT HRH3 February 2024|Monastery NewsAfter we had been encouraged by Bishop Fellay to start a house of formation ad experimentum for future Redemptorist novices, Menzingen has implemented a protocol for religious orders that entails us closing our novitiate for now.
Although the novitiate is closing, Holy Redeemer House will continue to remain open as a Redemptorist Monastery associated with the Society of St. Pius X, and will act as a house of prayer and contemplation, as well as a base for our apostolate of Parish Missions.
Our building project, now halfway completed, will be used for men’s retreats, which is an integral part of our Rule and apostolate. Men will be able to come singly or in groups of up to 6 to experience a Redemptorist retreat.
Local singles, couples, and families will also be able to arrange a guided day of recollection, with the opportunity to speak to a priest.
Our building project should be ready to receive retreatants later this spring. The “barnastery” will be dedicated to the memory of Fr. George Kathrein, C.Ss.R.
We are sincerely grateful to all our benefactors for your support. Your intentions are remembered at daily Mass and in our daily prayers. As we go forward, your prayers and support will continue to be important to us.
If you have any questions, or if you are interested in scheduling a retreat or a day of recollection at Holy Redeemer House, please feel free to contact us at our website, redemptoris.org.Share this post:
