Thank-you , Etherel, for posting this beautiful poster. This is the one Fr. Pfeiffer was looking for! :applause:

 Dear people, please copy this link, get the poster downloaded, and send it to all your friends and relatives. Send it to anybody in tradition-- all are invited to help this Bishop,(and all the Bishops) celebrate their anniversary!

Link:

Posted Today, 8:20 pm

Now, if this doesn't work, please just go up back to Etherel's post.

  Also, while at Auriesville yesterday, somebody approached me and said they were coordinating a "gift"to the bishop of Rosary, Holy Communions, and Sacrifice pledges, in honor of his episcopal consecration anniversary. I don't have the details ( sorry-- don't remember who it was), so if someone hears of the novena pledges, please post them.


    Also, the reservations for the Banquet need to be made ASAP-- at least before the 20th June! This is so Father can get the head count to the caterers.

 I am posting this valuable information on behalf of a lady helping Fr. Ringrose in the organizing:  She has gone to great efforts to locate hotels, obtain discounts, etc:

"Hello and a Beautiful Day to you,

                These are the accommodations which I have put together from my phone calls.  I was hoping for an option for everyone’s pocketbook.  There are many good hotels in the Tysons Corner/Reston, VA area.  A gentleman at St. Athanasius compiled a listing of hotels (with phone numbers) located in the general vicinity of the conference if anyone would need an alternate location.    I have included the attachment for the listing of those hotels as well.

                I am very grateful for this hotel information as I only had the time to research these particular options.  With the traffic of the DC area, the maps that I have included are for the local streets.  Hopefully the traffic patterns will bring us to our destinations in a reasonable time frame.  I would not suggest travelling on the DC beltway if it can be avoided.  I included my phone number in case you needed any help.
                The Vienna Wolf Trap Hotel is located at 430 Maple Avenue, Vienna, VA 22180.  The phone number is 703-281-2330.  Leo is the manager and he has reserved this information under the title of St. Athanasius.  Call the number directly to get the reduced rate.
                Confessions for the confirmation candidates (and their guests who wish to make use of the sacrament) will be held at St. Athanasius on Wednesday evening, June 26th.  There is a Mass being offered for the Confirmation candidates (and guests) on Thursday morning.  Confirmations at St. Athanasius will be held in the evening on Thursday, June  27th  .  
                 For these 2 days (Wed./Thurs.)  a room at the Vienna Wolf Trap Hotel will be $74.00/night plus tax.  This is a discount from the regular weekday rate.  The accommodations are for double occupancy (2 people).  Additional persons in the room are added at an extra charge of $5.00 per person.     There is a modest continental breakfast provided for the guests off of the main lobby where you check in.
                The reduced weekend rate will apply for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  The charge would be $69.00/night plus tax.  The accommodations are for double occupancy (2 people).  Additional persons in the room are added at an extra charge of $5.00 per person.     There is a modest continental breakfast provided for the guests off of the main lobby where you check in.
                My family and I have stayed at the Vienna Wolf Trap Hotel on several occasions.  The area is safe to leave without concern for your items.  The rooms at the hotel are clean.  Leo has set the newly renovated rooms aside for anyone in this group to reserve.   The people who simply want a room to stay in would best be suited here.  Generally, I would say the adults who strictly want to go to the Mass and conferences without a lot of interaction will be comfortable staying at this hotel. "

Another hotel in Reston, Va is the Sheraton Reston (703)620-9000
At this very minute, I am awaiting permission to post a telephone number through which you can make reservations for the banquet. You can check back here, check into , or contact Father Pfeiffer's site ( you know the name already!) Make the reservations early.I'll post info here as soon as I get it! (http://www..com)

I am just wondering if I should call and RSVP for the event..(?)

The problem is that is says to send a check and telling how many people will attend,,
But I have no credit card or bank card or checkbook...I have only cash which I can give to them there. Is this possible to still 'reserve space'? If anyone has a number I can call...I will really appreciate it. Thank you!!

I can PM you the number for St. Athanasius. I'm sure Fr. Ringrose is real busy but it couldn't hurt to leave him a message.

Anybody driving there from New York or Boston and has one extra space? We could meet or skype before so you'd know who would be getting in your car. We could split the costs. I prefer this than taking public transportation. Please send me a message...

It's the official poster from the Vienna (USA) chapel. I was posting it on behalf of my dear friends there.

Those wanting to forward or print it, please download the PDF file which I attached to my earlier article (you need to be logged in to Cathinfo in order to do so).


Greetings from the country with the original Vienna. :-)

From the Verboten website:  


Quote from: the OFFICIAL nexus of all things Resistance has

We are in urgent need of donations of plane tickets and transportation costs for the priests who come for the [Silver] anniversary [of the SSPX Episcopal Consecrations in Vienna, Virginia coming very soon].

This is not just a celebration, but a getting together of the priests of the Resistance.

This unity is needed so that they may become more united in their efforts as they go around the world tending souls.

Your donation is, of course, tax deductible if you make it using the PayPal link below.

Use the PayPal note to mark the donation for the above.

You will receive a receipt from PayPal for your donation.

Father Pfeiffer has been given a task of providing plane tickets and transportation to and from the event, as St. Athanasius will not pay any of the costs.

We are calling out to the faithful to help Father Pfeiffer in this task in raising $40,000 needed to bring the priests to and from Vienna, VA.

This will be an important meeting that will help solidify the Resistance -- may heaven grant graces and blessing to everyone that lends a hand to this effort, even if all they can afford is a dollar.


We entrust this whole matter in the hands of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, "Mother of the Priests par excellence, our Lord Jesus Christ, and through Him, of all Priests in whom she forms her Son".


Viva Cristo Rey!





Rev. Father Pfeiffer, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, expressed his appreciation to the many supporters who have responded with donations.  
Important updates (mass locations, newsletters, etc.) will be posted as they become available.  
Thank you for all your prayers.

May the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Sacred Heart of Jesus
protect you and grant you many graces.


*PLEASE REMEMBER*


Donations may also be marked with a note to Paypal for Father Ruiz, Mexico;

 or Dom Tomas de Aquino, OSB, Monastery of Santa Cruz Nova Friburgo Brazil.

  Paypal will send a tax receipt.

To make a donation, go to the website, "Inthis - signyoushall -
conquer[dot] com"  ---(remove spaces, hyphens, brackets, and
replace "dot" with a period), and click on the DONATE button at
the bottom of the page.





Time is very short.  This is already the 13th, and so the 29th is only 16
days away.  That's only two weeks.  Purchasing plane tickets this soon
to the need date is already more expensive.  

I know two traditional priests who were going to go and they chose not
to because they saw the plane fares increase in one day.  If you're going
to donate, do not delay because every day is another chance of price
increases.

On the feast day of Saint Peter and Paul!  Bishop Williamson was ordained on that day also!

With light all golden and with rosy hues of morn,
O Light of lights this ever sacred day adorn,
When heaven is chanting praise of glorious martyrdom,
To sinners granting pardon and a welcome home,
Teacher of all the world,
Bearer of heaven's keys,
Judges of all the earth,
Proclaimers of high mysteries,
One by the Cross and one by the sword stroke triumphing,
Now wear the laurels in the senate of the King.

O thou most happy Rome, which by this glorious blood,
Of thy two Princes precious crimson flood,
Art made forever sacred and set apart,
Above all beauty that this world can ever impart.

May everlasting honor, power and glory be,
And jubilation to the Holy Trinity,
The one God ever ruling all things mightily,
Throughout all endless ages of eternity.

Filed under Upcoming events

On June 27, 2013 International Seminar of St. Pius X Écône (Switzerland) will celebrate the 25th anniversary of episcopal consecrations.
At 10 am the Pontifical Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Bernard Fellay, superior of the Society of St. Pius X.
At 4pm a play about the martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket will be given by the seminarians.

Twenty-Five Years Ago, in Ecône






No mention of any festivities.  No lunch. No conference, no
gratuitous speeches by His Eagerness.  Well, maybe for the
sermon -- when nobody is welcome to raise any questions.  

And there are a LOT of questions.  Like this one:  

"Could you be so gracious, your eagerness, so as to provide
for us two or three specific examples of the kinds of things
you're talking about when you say, 'Internet rumours'?"
