    So far as I am aware, there are at least 4 resistance communities for aspiring seminary candidates to try their vocations:

    1) SSPX/SO in Boston, Kentucky: Inaugural class to begin in September/October, if there are any entrants.

    2) Fr. Arizaga (OSB) in Mexico: Reported to already have obtained land and 4-5 postulants

    3) Fr. Jahir (FBVM) in Brazil: Already has an active community, and I believe at least one other priests, in addition to several religious.

    4) Dom Tomas (OSB) in Brazil: Several priests and religious, among whom is included the renowned Resistance author, Br. Arsenius.  

    To the list, I should add for aspiring women religious:

    5) German Carmelites.

    If you know of young men and women considering a vocation, please make sure you bring these options to their attention.

  • I wish there were more courageous women in the society in the US that could be available for retreats for ladies of the resistance, especially teenage girls, of which I have two. They consented to both going on a retreat sometime to see if God is calling either of them to the religious life.

    But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.

  • i think there are a few English-speaking nuns of the resistance in Brazil right now as well. Can anyone verify? I'm not positive.
