15 new Subdeacons for the FSSP


A grand total of 15 Seminarians of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) were received in the Subdiaconate in the first two weeks of February.

These very young men will (here are our earnest prayers to God!) be ordained Deacons in March/April and to the Priesthood at late springtime/early summer.

6 were ordained by Bp. Emeritus Bruskewitz in Denton, Nebraska on Feb. 1:



9 were ordained yesterday (Feb. 15) by Abp. Haas, of Vaduz (Liechtenstein), in the parish church of Deuchelried, in Wangen in Allgäu (Baden-Württemberg), near the Wigratzbad seminary (Bavaria) -- 4 Frenchmen, 2 Canadians, 1 Colombian,  1 from the Dominican Republic,  and 1 Austrian. 21 Seminarians received several minor orders in the same ceremony.
