RELIGIOUS ORDERS AFFILIATED WITH THE SSPX

Founded in 1974 when the first Sister received the religious habit, the Congregation of Sisters of the Society of Saint Pius X was established to facilitate the apostolate of the priests of the Society of Saint Pius X. The founders, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and Mother Marie-Gabriel Lefebvre, his sister, were both missionaries in the Congregation of the Holy Ghost.

Seeing that the crisis of faith since the Second Vatican Council was an ever-increasing danger for souls, the Archbishop, following the signs of Providence, founded the Priestly Society and then the Society of Sisters which he confided to his sister, Mother Marie-Gabriel.

The soul of the Sisters’ apostolate is found at the foot of the altar, with daily assistance at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass which is the source of the Sisters’ strength in their complete gift of self, and with an hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, where the Sisters intercede for priests and the Church’s hierarchy. Following Our Lady of Compassion their principal patron, they offer themselves in union with the Divine Victim for the salvation of souls, especially those of priests.
