NEW RESISTANCE PRIORY FOR THE UNITED STATES!

The Resistance just grew it's priories by 100%!

Announcing Stella Maris Chapel! The new priory is located in Texas south of Houston near Galveston. The priory inclues a school building in addition to the chapel and rectory on 5 acres of land. Fr. Zendejas purchased this property, and is the pastor of this location.

This 2nd priory is HUGE NEWS for the Resistance. There are now TWO priories of the Resistance in the United States. The number of priories just doubled! There is now a 2nd place priests could stay if they wanted to leave the SSPX.

And it's going to be the first Resistance-affiliated SCHOOL established in the United States. Classes will begin in September.

Let those things sink in for a couple minutes. You'll understand why this is such big news. It's the biggest news since the consecration of Bishop Faure -- the 2nd Bishop serving the Resistance.

Mathematically, 2 is 100% more than 1. But in reality, going up to "2" from "1" is an almost infinite jump. You now have PLURAL instead of SINGULAR. It's not just an aberration. It suggests a pattern of growth.


This is the first such property to be purchased in the United States since the Resistance began in May 2012.

Boston, KY (the Pfeiffer ranch, with a chapel, seminary, several outbuildings, etc.) has existed for decades. But this building wasn't purchased specifically for the Resistance, and it's still private property, not dedicated solely for church purposes. Mr & Mrs. Pfeiffer still live there. But, more importantly, purchasing new property has very real obstacles that using existing property doesn't involve -- the devil doesn't want the Resistance to grow and there are plenty who are willing to help carry out that objective.

Fr. Pfeiffer's group in Boston, KY certainly has the distinctions of the First Resistance Seminary, First Resistance priory established, etc. But after 3 years of having just this one priory, some were worried that establishing such Resistance priories would be a once-in-a-blue-moon event.

BUT, we won't have to wait another 3 years to see this again as the good news for the Resistance doesn't end here! There is another Independent chapel that is planning to BUILD a much more impressive compound, and the good news is that this project is already fully funded! It's a done deal. I can only say that this project does not involve Fr. Zendejas -- it's a different Resistance priest.

To clarify:

Regarding the new upcoming priory I mentioned at the end:

This is ANOTHER independent priest, currently working with the Resistance, who has hired an architect to design a complete priory (church, school, rectory, etc.) to be built from the ground up. 2 benefactors have generously promised to pay the full tab for this endeavor. I'm not sure when building will begin, but it's going to happen. The priest has promised to say Mass there by Christmas, even if Mass will be said "outdoors" on the concrete slab, if that's all that has been built by then.

This will certainly be equivalent to a classic SSPX "Priory" as well. (Daily mass, 3 priests living there, school, acting as a headquarters for the area, etc.)

I haven't asked permission to release the details yet, so I'm keeping it anonymous at this point. I can say, however, that this priest is traditional, Catholic, and resisting modernism along the lines of the "Resistance".

Regarding Fr. Zendejas' new property, "Stella Maris":

Fr. Zendejas purchased this property (last week), and is the pastor of this location.

There is a small school building there -- that is going to be fixed up a bit and used as a school, starting September 2015.

There is a house on the property; this will be used to house any resistant priests.

He JUST got the property; they will begin "moving in" as soon as possible.

Bishop Williamson blessed the church before the Confirmations Monday, and I'll be posting videos of that as well.

Is that a deflated bounce house in the background of the second picture?

I'm not certain what it was, but the people staying there hadn't finished moving out yet. There was a wagon, some swings in the trees, etc.

Will there be a way to donate and help with school supplies or any other needs? (I wanted to donate to "in this sign you shall conquer dot com" in the past, but it states on the home page that it's a "pablo the Mexican production." No thank you.)

We are three years down the road since the problems in the SSPX erupted into a public crisis.  It is very telling that in those three years the Society, even though it is a large organisation, is still losing priests and faithful in a slow but steady trickle.  The Society is disintegrating slowly but surely, and will continue to tear itself apart from within as long as it strays from the path of Archbishop Levebvre. It might be years before we see the full extent of the damage.  In the meantime, the tiny Resistance is slowly but surely building itself up around the world.  That says it all doesn't it?  We must be very grateful to God when he gives His blessing on a work that pleases Him.

WooHooo!

Time for my family to start looking into the feasibility of a move!
