Providence Confidential

Posted by  
Bishop Schneider speaking at a dinner reception the night before the ordination Mass. he made specific reference to his experiences growing up in the Soviet Union – a time of persecution to which the clergy and laity of Western Europe and the Americas can barely relate.

It’s off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush… our coverage of the visit of Bishop Athanasius Schneider to Providence, Rhode Island to ordain a priest for the Fraternity of St Peter today.

St. Mary Church, Providence, RI, a half hour before the beginning of the mass – the grand parish church was almost completely full for the occasion. Since 2018 this parish has been directed by priests of the FSSP. It is an astonishing transformation for this parish, as a brief online search will reveal.
