Fraternity of St. Peter’s days in Toronto over

Written by Sheila Dabu, The Catholic Register,

TORONTO - Due to a pastoral reassignment, the Fraternity of St. Peter will be leaving the archdiocese of Toronto on Feb. 28, but the Tridentine Mass they brought here will remain.

Fr. Howard Venette, the only priest from the fraternity based in Toronto, said he is being reassigned to a parish affiliated with the Fraternity in Sarasota, Fla.

The Fraternity of St. Peter is a Clerical Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical right, meaning it is a community of priests who do not take religious vows but work together for a common mission. It was founded in 1988 by a dozen priests and several seminarians at the Abbey of Hauterive in Switzerland. Its mission is to form priests in the Tridentine Mass or the traditional, pre-Vatican II liturgy of the Roman rite.

I will be praying for that parish. We have a new TLM parish here, recognized by our Archbishop, but only the one FSSP priest. He is wonderful, as is our TLM Mass. I would be devastated if he were to be transferred withoout a successor.
 
While its a pity that the F.S.S.P. cant maintain a presence in Toronto its a consolation that the Tridentine Mass will continue there. Its a great blessing to have Orthodox priests & liturgy.
