  • I am an American and parishioner of FSSPX. My home chapel was St. Paul, Mn currently served by a great priest Fr. Webber. Also I frequented mass at the seminary in Winona and know many of the Fathers, brothers, and parishioners there.

    I recently moved to Central America to undertake a project here and plan to live here for an extended period of time. I currently find myself in Ocotepeque Honduras within walking distance of San Fernando, Chalatenango El Salvador. I am also familiar with Guatemala being as it is close and I lived there for a month before moving here.

    The problem here is that I have no access to the Mass or the Sacraments and it is thoroughly Catholic here. I mean even the road signs promote praying the Rosary. It's incredible but no Traditional Mass!!! I have contacted the Mexico district as this is part of them but they never respond back. The info that is online for FSSPX central America is not only difficult to find but also incorrect! Una Voce Costa Rica well their uselessly asking permission from the local bishop and always denied and then claiming he is ignoring Summorum Pontificuм. I told them they are the ones ignoring Summorum Pontificuм by asking for the bishops permission!

    Anyways I have contacted and called and the most I got was a new address for San Salvador FSSPX mission that comes once a month. I went looking for the address that was posted online and was told nobody comes there anymore so info from the Mexico District online should definitely be updated please!

    I began to think there was no existing Latin mass in central America and after no one responded or cared I contacted the district of South America to see if they could help. They gave me the email of Fr Guadere whom they said is in Guatemala City which is a bit far for me and who knows if the address is correct!!! Anyhow I am still waiting for Fr. Guadere to respond to the email and I imagine he is very busy.

    If there is anyone who can help me establish a FSSPX mass here it would be great. Or any contact info that could get the ball rolling here it would be fantastic. I live in the mountains in a small community of Catholics and my neighbor is a small catholic church that has no priest on Sundays. It would be very easy to get the people to allow me to let a FSSPX priest in to say mass on Sundays and would be great. Anyone with any ideas or help please let me know.

    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

  • Hello, centroamerica,
    I have successfully used this email address to request updates / changes to the Society's international information:  fsspx@fsspx.org  
    They respond and make changes rather quickly, and the responses are always from a priest.

    When you inform them of the necessary changes to their website information, why not ask them for advice re: mission?  That is, if you want to go down the SSPX path.

    Last, but not least (first in my book), see link below. Perhaps one of the clergy of the newly forming priory will be able to help/advise.

    In his August 12, 2012 sermon Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer stated that he and four other priests had a meeting in Vienna Virginia:  Frs. Hewko, Chazal, Ringrose, and Voigt.  They not only issued the declaration below (source here) but the big news is:  These 5 priests are offiicially banding together at the Boston, Kentucky "Our Lady of Mount Carmel" chapel and forming a sort of priory.   Fr. Pfeiffer explains that they will do the very best they can to provide the sacraments to those who ask; in fact, people all over the world are calling for them and so they will be gone much of the time.
