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.

“Suprema lex, salus animarum”
“‘The supreme law is the salvation of souls.’ It is upon this higher principle that, ultimately, the entire legitimacy of our apostolate depends.”
We ask for prayers for His Excellency Bishop Tissier de Mallerais.
On the morning of Saturday 28 September, after the Angelus, he fell on the stairs of the seminary in Ecône and lost consciousness. He is currently in hospital.
