FSSP Priest Assignments Affect Georgia

It's that time of year when the FSSP move their priests around, and this year it affects our state. Father Cano FSSP, the assistant pastor at St Francis de Sales in the Atlanta Diocese will be leaving the end of June to take up his new assignement as pastor of St Micahels parish in the Diocese of Lincoln Nebraska. We wish him well in his new assignment as pastor. He will be replaced here by Father Thomas Fritschen FSSP who arrives this week. Thankfully the pastor of St Francis de Sales Father Mark Fischer is unaffectted and remains as pastor. When you visit St Francis de Sales make sure you say hello to the new priest, and welcome him down south.

Bishop Rifan Coming to the USA

Bishop Rifan is the only Bishop of a completely traditional diocese in the world. Everything he and all his priests do is according to the pre Vatican II liturgical books. Naturally his diocese has great vocations and about 200 traditional nuns in the diocese running schools and orphanges.
On Friday, June 19th, 2009, at 7:00 p.m. on the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Bishop Fernândo Rifan, of the diocese of Campos in Brazil, will celebrate a traditional Pontifical Solemn Mass at the Throne at the Church of St. Jean Baptiste (East 76th and Lexington Avenue) New York. There will also be a conference on devotion to the Sacred Heart and a dinner in honor of Bishop Rifan on Saturday, June 20th, 2009.
