Parish Organizations
In order to provide our faithful with the spiritual and social support in order to grow their Faith, we are happy to offer the following organizations for almost every member of our chapel:
Third Order of SSPX (District-Wide)
ABOUT:
For the purpose of giving all Catholics, whether priests or laymen, a share in the spirit of the Society of St. Pius X, the Third Order of the Society was founded in 1980. It helps in personal sanctification by associating its members with the life of the Society, under the patronage of Pope St. Pius X, an example of steadfastness in doctrine, purity in morals and Eucharistic devotion. The Third Order is in a way the family of the SSPX, with a rule of life, Catholic fellowship and mutual assistance.

Eucharistic Crusade
ABOUT:
The Eucharistic Crusade came into being in 1914, founded by a Belgian priest, Fr. Edouard Poppe (1890-1924) to promote Eucharistic devotion among children. Its motto nicely summarizes the desire to encourage young people to strive for genuine sanctity: “Pray, receive communion, make sacrifices, be an apostle."
