"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
We give thanks to God for the ordination of 12 Priests for the FSSP on 28th May, 2026 at St Cecilia's Cathedral, Omaha, NE, USA.
We particularly congratulate Fr Lai Nguyen FSSP who will be joining the District of Oceania.
Deo gratias!
We pray for Fr Nguyen as he takes up his first assignment in Auckland, New Zealand.
Following a thirty-day novena of preparation, on the February 11, 2026, all of the members of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter renewed the Consecration of the Fraternity to the Immaculate Heart of Mary surrounded by the faithful in all their apostolates throughout the world.
The Superior General and fellow priests of the Fraternity from the United States, Mexico, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Portugal renewed the Consecration at the Shrine in Fatima, Portugal. We thank the Rector of the Shrine for allowing us to perform this act in an official manner, at the very site of the apparitions.
Following a request presented by the Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter, Pope Leo XIV received Father John Berg in private audience at the Vatican on Monday, January 19, 2026. He was accompanied by Father Josef Bisig, one of the founders of the Fraternity, former Superior General, and current Rector of Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, USA.
The cordial half-hour meeting was an opportunity to present to the Holy Father in greater detail the foundation and history of the Fraternity, as well as the various forms of apostolate that it has been offering to the faithful for almost 38 years. The proper law and charism that guide the sanctification of its members were recalled.
