From October
15-17, 2010, Angelus Press will host a conference on the
occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Society of St. Pius X's
founding on November 1, 1970. The theme is: The defense of
Catholic Tradition as transmitted by Archbishop Lefebvre.
This will be reflected in various talks from different
perspectives: from the
history of the Archbishop's works and
interventions during the Council to the rejection of
liturgical and doctrinal novelties after the Council. The answer
of the Archbishop was the foundation of the priestly Society of
St. Pius X to keep the Faith alive in the Church.
Bishop Bernard
Fellay, Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, will be
the keynote speaker. Other
speakers include, but may not be limited to: Fr. Arnaud Rostand,
District Superior for the United States; Fr.
Cyprian, OSB, Prior of Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery;
Fr. Juan-Carlos Iscara, professor of history at St. Thomas
Aquinas Seminary; Fr. Scott Gardner; Fr. Kenneth Novak; Fr.
Michael McMahon, Headmaster of Notre Dame de La Salette
Boys' Academy; Dr. Andrew Childs, Associate Dean at St. Mary's
College; and John Vennari, editor of Catholic Family News.
The conference will be held
at the
Hilton Kansas City Airport. Complimentary shuttles will
provide transport to and from the hotel. A formal dinner with
limited seating will be available on Saturday evening, with a
slide-show presentation of the history of the Society.
Accommodations are available for children during the talks
themselves. In addition to the speakers, various apostolates of
the SSPX and religious orders will be in attendance to provide
information and answer questions. On Sunday morning, a
pontifical High Mass will be celebrated at St. Vincent de
Paul's, the historic church of the SSPX in Kansas City.
