VOCATION NEWS: 15 new FSSP PRIESTS in 24 YEARS

We have currently seven young men from the UK & Ireland in formation at our two international seminaries. Two of them, James from Hemel Hampstead and Peter from London, received First Tonsure and donned cassock and surplice on our 37th anniversary, last 18th October 2025. Three of our deacons from England were ordained priests at St Mary’s Warrington by Archbishop McMahon, OP of Liverpool. Those were the first EF priestly ordinations by a diocesan bishop in England in fifty years. Please pray for them (www.fssp.org/en/help-us/confraternity-of-saint-peter/) and for many more to enter the lists! 

We give thanks for 15 priests ordained from or to the UK over the past 24 years: Fr Armand de Malleray in 2001; Fr Konrad Loewenstein in 2002; Fr Brendan Gerard in 2006; Frs Matthew Goddard and William Barker in 2009; Fr Simon Harkins in 2010; Fr Matthew McCarthy in 2011; Fr Ian Verrier in 2015; Fr James Mawdsley in 2016; Frs Alex Stewart and Krzysztof Sanetra in 2017; Fr Seth Phipps in 2018; Fr Gwilym Evans in 2022; Fr Miklos Homolya in 2024 - plus Fr Patrick O'Donohue (incardinated in 2023), Deacon Conan McGonagle (whose priestly ordination is scheduled for 26th May 2026), and Deacon Niall Ó hAimheirgin who joined us last year. [Not all of those currently serve with the FSSP, or in the UK.]

On the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, 11 February 2022, Pope Francis signed a decree confirming the liturgical charism of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter: https://www.fssp.org/en/decree-of-pope-francis-confirming-the-use-of-the-1962-liturgical-books/.
On January 19, 2026, Pope Leo XIV granted a private audience to the FSSP Superior General and Seminary Rector. Pope Leo XIV was given a picture of our motherhouse seminary by FSSP Superior General (© Vatican Media).

Please pray for us. We assure you of our prayer.
O Lord, grant us many holy priests!
