That's odd. For several years now We've had SSPX envelopes. I'm looking at one now. It says PRIESTLY SOCIETY OF ST. PIUS X (British Columbia) followed by amount, name, date, and address. They use this envelope for all the parishes in B.C.. Maybe you're at a smaller parish, or even a new parish Clelia?
We just give cash donations during the collections. Why envelopes now after so many years? I only wonder if it is part of the seemingly (not yet proven or proclaimed) preamble "signing" that would be part of the "agreement" regarding The Vatican's 'take' --- or, some other reason, if anyone has any information.

The pastor of the SSPX Chapel I attend has long discouraged the use of envelopes, unless the donator wants a 'tax statement' at the end of the year. He has even said, it makes no sense to put cash in an envelope without a name on it- makes extra work for the counters. My guess is like what was said years ago by an SSPX authority, who's name I will not mention: "Cash is so easy to use and can't be tracked" He could take a handful out and use it how he saw fit. (mostly for someone in needs benefit)
The SSPX chapels I have attended have always used envelopes.
