District Newsletter

For those new to Angelus Press, this issue of the Regina Coeli Report surveys the Press’s work as part of the continuing mission of the Society to “restore all things in Christ.”

Our current Regina Coeli Report presents to you the work being done throughout our District in our schools. Education has been a major part of the work of our Society from its beginning and its importance continues to increase as our work grows.

Having passed the month of May and entered June, this Regina Coeli Report presents the First Communion ceremonies in our chapels throughout the U.S. District. The Eucharist is the center of parish life emphasized in the months dedicated to the Sacred Heart and His Mother.

"As the main article in this issue reinforces, the miraculous Nativity of Our Lord is not an isolated event to be celebrated and forgotten, but a beautiful testament of God’s love for the world which should never be far from our reflections. 'Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us' (Mt. 1:23)."

In this issue of the Regina Coeli Report we focus on processions. As an act of public worship, processions once played an important role in the life of the Catholic Church. Indeed, evidence of processions can be found in our liturgical worship, such as when the priest processes to the altar at every Mass. Over the course of the last century, however, processions started to dwindle.

Do any of us truly understand what an incredible gift we have in the Real Presence of Our Savior in the Blessed Sacrament? The Son of God waits for us in the tabernacle, but few take advantage of this incredible opportunity. As St. Peter Julian Eymard wrote, “Man has time for everything, except visits to his Lord and God, Who is waiting and longing for him in His tabernacle. The streets and houses of amusement are filled with people; the House of God is deserted.”

The District Superior for the United States, Fr. John Fullerton, recounts the challenges the Catholic Church has faced in the past 18 months, "from COVID to Custodes" and makes assurances of the Society of Saint Pius X's work throughout the United States and world...

Fr. John Fullerton, US District Superior for the Society of Saint Pius X, asks the priests and faithful in the District to make the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus during the month of June to make reparations for the sins that continue to plague our world.

The American District of the United States Society of Saint Pius X extends its policy: “Plan to Protect” to all people who are victims of abuse or those wishing to submit their complaints concerning the comportment of one of its members or employees.

For the past week, the Society of Saint Pius X has been the subject of a media campaign conducted by the Church Militant website. It has been accused of having “sympathy for perverts” (sic) and of covering up for some of its members or employees who may have been guilty of misconduct. This is not the first campaign, and it will certainly not be the last. Already, in July 2019, similar accusations had been made against the Society’s authorities by Church Militant.
