New statistical revelations, those which show the progressive development of the Priestly Society of St. Peter.

Rome (kath.net/as) The Priestly Society of St. Peter (FSSP) belongs to ecclesiastical realities, which is demonstrating tremendous growth. This was the finding of a statistical poll published on the 1st of October. The Society at this moment has 376 members (Priests: 223; Deacons: 8; Seminarians and Postulants in the first year: 145). The average age from the 34 nations shows an aggregate of 36.

The FSSP is in four continents, 16 Countries and 113 Diocese. They possess 48 canonically erected houses, 16 personal parishes and 197 Mass locations. They've shown to have ordained an average of 12 Priests per year.

The Priestly Society of St. Peter was founded on 18 July 1988 as a clerical society of Apostolic Life. This means it operates as a society of Catholics Priests without vows, which operates on a Mission in the world. The Mission is twofold according to the Society: first the education and consecration of Priests in the use of the traditional liturgy according to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite; second is for these priests to take up pastoral efforts in their area, in the service of the Church.

The Priestly Society of St. Peter (FSSP) priests are great. They have just moved into their own church here in Phoenix, which is presently being renovated from being a Baptist church. I am hoping that Phoenix Catholics will support growth to many, many more churches here.
Please pray for their future everywhere.

I absolutely second that. My little corner of OH has a wonderful Church in the care of an FSSP priest. I’m quite impressed. Please pray for them, and for all who say the Tridentine Latin Mass.
