THE LOGO

The grey letters stand for the worldwide fraternal society which is subordinate to the Catholic Faith and the content of all publications. The content - the Faith and the patron saint - is more important than the fraternal society. The logo becomes more easily readable due to the difference in grey tones.

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”.

On 2nd February, at the Seminary of Saint-Curé-d'Ars, Flavigny, France, Bishop Tissier de Mallerais, auxiliary bishop of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, gave the clerical habit to the 16 seminarians of the 1st year.

The new Levites are French for the most part, but there are also two English- men - Mr Christopher Sudlow of Manchester and Mr. Julian Rodrigues of Lon- don - a Portuguese and a Swiss. About thirty priests from the Society assisted together with representatives from the Transfiguration Fathers of Merigny, the Capuchins of Morgon, the Sisters and Oblates of the Fraternity, and also the Dominican sisters of Brignolles and Fanjeaux. It was a happy day. Please pray for their perseverance and pray that more young men may have the courage and the spirit of sacrifice to give themselves to the service of God in His Church.

Also assisting at the ceremony was deacon Rev. Rupert Bevan (who will be ordained to the priesthood on 28th June at Ecône) and his brother, seminarian Bernard Bevan who is studying at the Seminary of St. pius X in Ecône.

47 THE LOGO

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something The Society of St. Pius X is an international priestly society of common life of the organization’s core values, showing without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood and that which pertains ourselves fully “in the light”. to it.

Since its foundation by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, the Society has formed priests according to the immemorial teachings of the Catholic Church. By offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the traditional Latin rite and administering the sacraments according to the traditional rites in vigour in 1962 (before the Second Vatican Council 1962-5), the Society’s priests perpetuate what the Church has taught and done throughout its history. By the exercise of the teaching office of its priests, the Society fights against the errors that presently afflict the Church.
