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.
“Pax Vobis”
Deeply heartened by these first words of Leo XIV in echoing the Good Shepherd in these days after the Resurrection, we ardently join the Holy Father in his intentions for peace within the world and within the Church. We assure him of our fervent prayers by invoking in particular our own Patron, St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles.
Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificabo ecclesiam meam.
Oremus pro pontifice nostro, Leone, Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius.
