Throughout February, March, April, and May, 2020 there will be 14 Confirmation ceremonies conducted by two auxiliary bishops of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX).
Bishops Bernard Tissier de Mallerais and Bernard Fellay will have a busy schedule through the Spring, visiting a total of 14 chapels of the SSPX U.S. District. Their Excellencies are two of the auxiliary bishops of the SSPX, consecrated by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1988. They are appointed to aid the priests and the faithful of the Society by conferring the sacraments of Holy Orders and Confirmation.
Bishop Fellay was the Superior General of the Society until 2019. He now serves Fr. Davide Pagliarani, the current Superior General, in an advisory capacity.
Bishop Tissier de Mallerais was formerly the rector of the SSPX Seminary in Ecône, Switzerland, and currently resides at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Virginia. He and Bishop Fellay serve the Society in their travels throughout the districts of the SSPX, administering confirmations, blessing chapels, and ordaining priests.

The following sermon for the Feast of Christ the King was delivered by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, founder of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), on October 29, 1989 in Dublin, Ireland.
Today we must pray to Our Lord Jesus Christ, we must pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary to remain true Catholics and to do everything possible to become saints. We must come to church frequently, pray in our church, receive the graces of the sacraments in order to become saints, to sanctify our souls and to go to heaven with all the members of our families and all those who kept the Catholic Faith here on earth and now enjoy the happiness of heaven.
Catholics today understand the Church’s observance of Lent and Holy Week has undergone significant changes over two millennia. But how, and when did the practice begin?
Geography, divergent spiritual traditions, and even differences in calculating the date of Easter (Pascha) contributed to diverse liturgical practices across Christendom—practices which themselves have morphed within the local churches from which they originally arose.
