THE PRIESTLY FRATERNITY
OF ST PETER
DISTRICT OF OCEANIA
"Thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail agains it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven."
Matt 16:18
A thirty-day novena in preparation for the renewal of the Fraternity’s consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is being organized this year. It will begin on Sunday, January 11, and end on February 11, the anniversary of the consecration, when the act of consecration will be publicly renewed. The preparatory thirty-day novena will consist of the daily recitation of a decade of the Rosary and the Memorare.
To conclude this thirty-day novena, the General House, the seminaries, the North American Province, and the Districts will send representatives this year to Fatima, on February 10 and 11, 2026. There, they will renew the consecration of the entire Fraternity to Our Lady at the site of the apparitions.
We Congratulate six of our Seminarians studying in the US who have recently received the Minor Orders.

On 27th July 2025, the FSSP happily began its presence in the Archdiocese of Brisbane with a beautiful Mass in St Joseph's Nudgee College, Boondall. Invited into the archdiocese by Archbishop Mark Coleridge to be the Chaplains of St. Gregory's Latin Mass Community, we are grateful to him and excited to start our work in the archdiocese.
We particularly remember and ask your prayers for the repose of the soul of Fr Gregory Jordan SJ, the founder and chaplain of St Gregory’s for fifteen years who passed away on 19th July 2015.
We also wish to thank Fr Armstrong, the outgoing Chaplain.
Fr Roger Gilbride FSSP will be the Chaplain for St. Gregory's Latin Mass Community. We pray, and we ask you to join us, that this apostolate in the Brisbane Archdiocese bear much fruit in the Lord's vineyard. For more details, please see our website and Facebook.
