In Rome on Saturday 18 October 2008, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter and all its friends will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of our foundation (cf Roman decree of October 18, 1988, erecting the FSSP as a clerical society of apostolic life of pontifical right:
http://www.fssp.org/en/documents.htm).
All lay and consecrated persons who wish to associate with that event are cordially invited. With very many families, with groups of young people and adults, it will be the occasion to give thanks to the Lord, to his Most Holy Mother and to our patron the Apostle Saint Peter for our many vocations and for our services to souls in tens of dioceses on several continents. We will also express our gratitude to the Holy Father and to those who have encouraged our young Fraternity since its foundation. Although not all our 318 members (statistics as of 15.XII.2006) will be able to come, as some will have to supply in our parishes, still a very great number of our priests and seminarians from the whole world are awaited.
The gathering will begin on Saturday morning October 18, 2008 and will finish on Sunday afternoon October 19, 2008. The program, currently in progress, will offer one or more pontifical Masses, one or more meals taken in common with all the faithful present, a conference and vespers with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Buses will be organized starting from various European countries, while groups of overseas pilgrims will be constituted.
In advance we cordially thank all those who will be able to pray for the preparation and the fruitful happening of this event, an important stake in the history of our priestly Fraternity at the service of all the Church.
Assuring you of our faithful prayer,
Rev. Fr. Armand de Malleray,
Gen. Sec. FSSP
