I wasn’t sure, so I wanted to ask those in the know here. Is this order in full communion? I’ve heard their name mentioned when discussing SSPX and SSPV. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Very much in full communion.

Anyway, here’s their website… you might want to look around.

Yes! ICRSS loves and is totally devoted to the Church and our dear Holy Father!
As they put it on their web site:
Great care for a solemn liturgy, complete fidelity to the doctrine of the Church and the Holy Father, and awareness of the central role of Grace, especially Charity – these are essential elements of the Institute’s spirituality, which is drawn from its three co-patrons, St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Francis de Sales.

And regarding their beautiful blue habits:
In 2006, the Cardinal Archbishop of Florence, responsible for the overview of the Institute’s life, bestowed upon our priests and oblates their specific choir dress. The choir dress consists of a rochet, a mozzetta, the cross of St. Francis de Sales on a blue and white ribbon, and a biretta with a blue pom-pom. The superiors have a blue mozetta, the priests have a black mozetta with blue piping, and the oblates wear the cross and ribbon on the surplice. The blue stands for our complete dedication to the Blessed Mother and is traditionally the color shown on St. Francis de Sales in most paintings of him. The choir dress expresses the strong unity, spiritually, and identity of the Institute and adds solemnity to the liturgy.

I still don’t get the idea of “full communion,” since I don’t really think there’s partial communion.
They are in communion with the Church, and are a fully approved order.
They are also traditional.
And they are awesome.

Maybe the OP means full union. For example, the SSPX are not in full union with the Church.

Sorry for mispeaking. I’m a brand new convert still trying to learn the right terminology.
They certainly look awesome. I’m drawn to the tradtional aspects of the Church.

I can’t say anything bad about the Institute except that they aren’t in enough places!

I don’t think you misspoke, since you used terminology that many Catholics use now. I just wanted to point out that not everyone gets or accepts the terminology, that’s all.
