Building, and Marian Devotion, at Regina Caeli in Houston

Regina Caeli, our parish apostolate in Houston, was founded in devotion to Our Lady, Queen of Heaven. As they have grown from a Traditional Latin Mass community worshiping at St. Elizabeth Anne Seton to full-fledged parish with a church of their own, the faithful of Regina Caeli have perpetually dedicated themselves to their Patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

We congratulate Regina Caeli as they have now reached a major milestone. On Saturday, October 29th, His Eminence, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, blessed and dedicated St. Athanasius Chapel Hall as the first permanent chapel for the celebration of Mass and the Sacraments. It will serve as their parish home while the church is being constructed, after which the chapel will serve as the parish hall.

Enjoy pictures from the community over recent months, including their most recent Marian procession across the parish grounds to the new hall.

What’s New on FSSP.com

Laudetur Iesus Christus!

Welcome to the new FSSP.com. The new site focuses on the mission of the Fraternity, and how we support the Priesthood and the Church through priestly formation, our parishes and apostolates, and the missions.  In addition, our new site has a more responsive layout, allowing you to explore more easily the mission of the Fraternity across PCs, tablets, and phones.

Being significantly different from the previous version of our site, we thought that we would give an overview, with links to popular content you may have used on the previous site.

  • Orations: this section is for newcomers to the Traditional Latin Mass, also known as the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. Learn more about the liturgical traditions of the Church, and sign up for Memento, the District newsletter.
  • Locations: this section replaces the Apostolates and Locations page, and gives you an interactive map with links to all of our North American apostolates. Simply click on an icon on the map, and go.
  • Donations: what used to be our Contributions page. There are now three donation forms on FSSP.com. The first form is for donations that support either the works of the District or the Seminary. There is a separate form for enrolling in our novenas, which you can do now year-round.  Lastly, there is a form for enrolling friends and family in our Adjutorium program.  You will find links to these donation forms in the appropriate places around the site.
  • Summations:  Here you will find links to our work: priestly formation, our apostolates, our Mass novenas and the prayer for priest card, parish life and parish news, the Confraternity of St. Peter, MissionTradition and the missions, and priestly formation.  Click on each shield to explore different aspects of our formation and life as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter.
  • Reflections: throughout the liturgical year, the Fraternity offers a reflection on the time of year, or various aspects of our priestly mission in the Church.

Confraternity Daily Prayer

Following a decade of the Rosary: 
V. Remember, O Lord, Thy congregation.
R. Which Thou hast possessed from the beginning.
  Post decadem Rosarii dicant:
V. Memento, Domine, congregationis tuæ.
R. Quam possedisti ab initio
.
Let us pray.
O Lord Jesus, born to give testimony to the Truth, Thou who lovest unto the end those whom Thou hast chosen, kindly hear our prayers for our pastors.
Thou who knowest all things, knowest that they love Thee and can do all things in Thee who strengthenest them.
Sanctify them in Truth. Pour into them, we beseech Thee, the Spirit whom Thou didst give to Thy apostles, who would make them, in all things, like unto Thee.
Receive the homage of love which they offer up to Thee, who hast graciously received the threefold confession of Peter.
And so that a pure oblation may everywhere be offered without ceasing unto the Most Holy Trinity, graciously enrich their number and keep them in Thy love, who art one with the Father and the Holy Ghost, to whom be glory and honour forever.
Amen.
  Oremus.
Domine Jesu, in testimonium Veritatis natus, qui usque in finem diligis quos elegeris, exaudi benigne preces nostras pro nostris pastoribus.
Tu qui omnia nosti, scis quia amant Te et omnia possunt in Te qui eos confortas : sanctifica eos in Veritate, infunde eis, quæsumus, Spiritum quem Apostolis tuis dedisti, qui eos in omnibus Tui similes efficiat.
Accipe quod Tibi tribuunt testimonium amoris, qui triplici Petri confessioni benignus annuisti.
Et ut oblatio munda sine intermissione Sanctissimæ Trinitati ubique offeratur, novam eis propitius adjunge prolem, et omnes jugiter in Tua serva caritate, qui cum Patre et eodem Spiritu Sancto unus es Deus, cui gloria et honor in sæcula.
Amen.
