CORRECTION: Dominicans of Avrillé Need Our Help
Mea culpa, mea culpa . . . I apologize for making a hasty post that was not entirely accurate. The situation with the Dominicans of Avrillé, while serious, is not as dire as I stated in my original post. I have been asked to provide a corrected description of the current situation which appears below. Please note that the original post was entirely of my own misplaced zeal to help my beloved Dominicans. They do need our help and are certainly worthy of all our support.
Please forgive my impetuousness. Sitting by and watching everything for which we have fought for so long seeming to fall down in front of us can invoke a feeling of helpless frustration. If you really long to do something material to help in the fight for Traditional Catholicism, I have a timely suggestion for you.
The Traditional Dominican fathers of Avrillé, France are in need of financial support. These strong stalwarts of Traditional Catholicism need our help.
To quote one of the fathers:
The Dominicans are looking for benefactors, but it is in order to pay for current building repairs and to pay back a loan contracted a few years ago for the acquisition of the “Priory of the Haye aux-Bonshommes” (an adjacent building to the convent property). There is no connection with any cancelled retreat.”If you can help, please send any donation you can afford to one of these addresses:
