Also reportedly expelled for refusing to be silenced. Is there anyone who knows firsthand who can confirm?

If you know how to contact him, please PM me.

Same with Fr Doran if anyone has heard anything yet.

What is the source of your information that Fr Girouard has been expelled?

wallflower · « **Reply #2 on:** March 21, 2013, 09:48:31 PM »

It is only hearsay from (what I consider to be) a trustworthy source. But they are not firsthand and neither am I. I am hoping someone from his parish posts or lurks and doesn't mind weighing in. I remember his youtube sermon from last spring but hadn't heard anything from him since.

Perhaps some of these priests don't wish to have anything known publicly. I understand and respect that. My only concern is to be sure they have support.

Right.

I remember he gave that sermon, only to announce the following week that he would not be commenting on the matter further (ie., someone in authority had a little talk with him).

If it is true that he is getting stronger again, that would be great news.

Another priest in North America.

Would be great if someone could confirm or dispel.

Father G has spoken out recently this month against the leaked doctrinal preamble and a parishioner told Fr Superior.

father has been disciplined, but not expelled. He was forced to leave his parishioners in Vancouver.

So perhaps him being forced to leave the parish was misconstrued as being expelled. Expulsion is probably not off the table yet though, I suppose it depends on whatever happens next in the "disciplinary" process.

It is hard to hear of good priests getting this treatment for being faithful sons of Abp Lefebvre, but it also kindles the hope that silenced/silent priests are simply biding their time. We will pray for his fortitude through whatever he is enduring now.

Do we know if Father Girouard has gone back home to Quebec for the interim?

As I posted elsewhere, I lived, worked and served under Father Girouard whilst he was posted in Winnipeg. It would be good to have his contact information again, now that he got the boot from Abbotsford (Vancouver suburb).

Fr Wegner probably wants to watch him very closely like a hawk, so that he cannot speak out again. He is going to the district house. Fr W wants to silent him like Fr Fox.

Fr. G going to St. Cesaire? Based on what I know of Fr. G and Fr. Wegner, I will not be surprised if Fr G either is expelled, or leaves of his own accord.

It is times like this that I really wish I was chest high in the lucre, in order to adequately support these brave resistance clerics of whom we are "confederate" :wink:

If you have the contact information for these priests, contact them. Let them know you fully support them. Offer them a place to stay. Give them Fr. Pfeiffer's contact information. The preamble has given them a lot of food for thought. They need to know they are supported by the Faithful. God can never be outdone! During Lent the weight of our sins doubles; during Lent the amount of our almsgiving doubles. Which one would you like a return on? A catechism given by a priest.

Pray the 41 outspoken priests will stand up for Tradition and perservere.

Possibly, Fr. Girouard might be welcomed to Texas?

(I heard they're certainly in need of one) :wink:

Sorry, I think the resistance here in Canada will be wanting him. We have no
resistance priests! Fr. G. is Canadian and there are therefore no worries about immigration issues, health care costs, etc. :scratchchin:

Texas can have the next one. I am confident God is working on a number of the silent priests.

Fr. Girouard was recalled to St. Cesaire. However, he hasn't shown up yet, and they're not sure if he will.

Graham · « **Reply #14 on:** March 26, 2013, 04:16:14 PM »

As of today he's 3 days overdue.
