Religious Vows in the Congregation of the Sisters of the Society of St. Pius X | RUFFEC 2024
On Sunday (the 7th of April 2024), Sunday in albis or Quasimodo Sunday, Mgr Alphonse de Galarreta celebrated a pontifical mass in the priory church of Saint-Martial de Ruffec during which the taking of the habit and the religious professions of the Sisters of the Society of St. Pius X took place.
The priory of Saint-Martial, situated in Ruffec-le-Château, in Indre, is now the seat of the French-speaking novitiate of the Sisters of the Society of St. Pius X.
The Congregation of the Sisters of the Society of St. Pius X aims to support the apostolate of the priests of the FSSPX. Its founders, Monsignor Marcel Lefebvre and Mother Marie-Gabriel Lefebvre, his sister, came from the Missionary Congregation of the Holy Ghost.
These religious consecrate themselves to God through the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience after two and a half years of formation in one of the four novitiates, places of formation for religious, established in France, Germany, the United States and Argentina.
In 2024, the Congregation of the Sisters of the Society of St. Pius X counts 209 professed religious in 30 communities in 10 countries: France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, United States, Argentina, Gabon, Dominican Republic and Australia.
During the ceremony, five postulants were vested with the religious habit and began their novitiate after the six months of postulancy. Three novices, having completed their formation, professed their first religious vows. Finally, five professed sisters pronounced their perpetual vows.
The large crowd of faithful could hardly fit inside the church, but a large screen set up in the courtyard allowed everyone to easily attend the ceremony.
