To all who say to avoid Fr. Bitzer's Mass, here is one of the sermons from Fr. Gavin Bitzer. Listen to the priest you say is a heretic, if you can.

I just listened to this again for I think the fourth or fifth time in a few years and I think that Fr. Bitzer is as excellent a priest as this sermon demonstrates - and in the interest of righteousness, deserves a public apology from those in this thread who know absolutely nothing about him at all, yet falsely accused him of being a heretic, holder of some non-existent heresy - only for the sake of keeping hungry sheep from being fed by him. That is scandal and those who promoted it in this thread should be ashamed.  

Maybe this question has been addressed already, but let me ask it again.  Since Fr. Bitzer's chapel is very close to Boston, have the priests in Boston, KY ever brought up the person and ministry of Fr. Bitzer in a sermon, in a conference setting or in conversation.  I ask this because    Fr. Pfeiffer has never been shy about discussing the credentials of other priests with whom he takes exception.

Not that I am aware of.



Fr. Bitzer is the one standing behind Fr. Pfeiffer's right shoulder.

The picture was taken in 2012.  Things have certainly changed since then.

One of the reasons of the photo was to put a face with the name.  

There's a lot of politics and jockying for position going around, and its important to note that Fr. Bitzer doesn't involve himself with those types of things.  Like I said previously, he simply does his job.  And he does it well.

This is a fairly recent photo, possibly misleading only to those not up-to-date with the situation in Boston and with the Resistance.  These were many of the priests (and bishop) who were concerned over the SSPX, or had left/been put out of it.  At this point they were meeting after Bishop Williamson had been expelled.      

If I am not mistaken, it was even previous to this that a few months after his famous "Pentecost sermon," Fr. Pfeiffer had arranged for a big get together of families to the Boston, KY area, in what seemed to be an effort to begin "a little St. Marys" around there.  Bishop Williamson addressed those, mostly lay people, who attended that "conference."

That is one misleading photo --

I would have to agree.  That doesn't mean that ihsv had necessariliy any ulterior motives in publishing it.  However, the photo in no way represents the "resistance" situation today, nor do I think it ever did in the past.  Boston, KY today is composed basically of two priests, a lay director of operations and, perhaps, a couple of seminarians, if even that.

And a female choir director, several lay residents who live there.  More laity than clerics.  Kinda weird for a religious institution.  Progressive.

Is this chapel still in use ? There are no recent bulletins on the website.

Holy necro-bumps, Batman!

You just bumped a thread that was resting in peace for 7 years.

I'm guessing the chapel is kaput, given what you said that the website suddenly doesn't post bulletins.

Ha, sorry. Not just the bulletins, but I used to see vehicles parked there on weekdays. I assume they were school staff. I haven't noticed any vehicles there the last few times I drove by.
 
I hope they are still there. I have to get away from the local diocesan bunch.  

ETA: I also called the number listed a couple of times and got no answer.
