Well I just learned that Fr. Gonzales is going to be the celebrant for the 10 AM SSPX mass in Fairfield, NJ for the forseable future. I am sure this news will sadden many people at St. Jude's in Eddystone where Fr. Gonzalez has been Pastor for quite some time. Fr. Grun, the German priest, is going to be replacing Fr. Gonzalez temporarily, but it is possible that he might stay on there longer. Even though Fr. Gonzalez is taking over the mass in North Jersey, he will continue to say the mass at the Society chapel in Pittston, PA.

Fr. Grun is a wonderful priest. In all honesty, I wouldn't have minded having him around permanently, though we know & love Fr. Gonzalez as well, and we're thrilled to have him as our pastor. Both Eddystone & the new NJ mission are both tremendously blessed.

Thank God for the Society of St. Pius X!

A man cannot be a Pastor of a chapel but only a Parish, nor can he be a Pastor unless so appointed by his diocesean Bishop. The wiser among the SSPXers realize these nuances. The more ignorant wallow in an obviously schismatic mentality where such words are floated altogether to freely. Fr. Gonzalez has never been a Pastor of anything.
