NEWS FROM THE SEMINARY

by

The seminarians have just come through an intense period of preparation and examinations. With that now behind them, they were able to pause and breathe, taking a reflective walk through the beautiful Tuscan countryside to pray and regain perspective after the busy weeks of study.

90TH BIRTHDAY OF CANON TRAUCHESSEC

by

Recently in Loisy near Paris, the Institute celebrated the 90th birthday of Canon Trauchessec at the convent of the Sisters Adorers. The occasion was marked with great solemnity and deep gratitude. Canon Trauchessec imparted Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and delivered a profoundly edifying reflection on his long priestly life. He spoke movingly of the trials the sacred liturgy endured during the 1960s, and of his unwavering fidelity to the Latin Mass throughout those challenging years.

HABEMUS PAPAM

by

We have a Pope!

The Sacred College of Cardinals have elected Cardinal Robert Prevost to be the 267th Pope and successor of St Peter. The new Pope will take the name Pope Leo XIV.

Ordained Priest in 1982, he was consecrated Bishop in 2014. Pope Francis created him a Cardinal in 2023. He was Prior General of the Augustinians (OSA) from 2001‍–‍2013 and later Titular Bishop of Sufar (2014‍–‍2015) before appointment in the first instance as Apostolic Administrator of Chiclayo (Peru) (2014‍–‍2015) later becoming the Bishop until 2023.

Upon being given the ‘red hat’ in 2023, he was given the title Cardinal Deacon of Santa Monica (2023‍–‍2025) and was simultanously appointed as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. Earlier this year, Pope Francis made him Titular Bishop of Albano, a Suburbicarian see of the Diocese of Rome.

Orémus pro Pontífice nostro Leone XIV Let us pray for our Pontiff Leo XIV
Dóminus consérvet eum,
et vivíficet eum,
et beátum fáciat eum in terra,
et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum éius.
May the Lord preserve him,
and give him life,
and make him blessed on earth,
and not deliver him into the hands of his enemies. 
(Our Father, Hail Mary) (Pater, Ave)

ABBÉ CHARLES OUTTIER RIP

by

Dear friends,

With great sadness, we commend to your prayers the repose of the soul of Charles Outtier, a French seminarian of the Institute of Christ the King in Gricigliano, who was killed on January 15 in a tractor accident on the seminary grounds while he was performing his duties. Charles Outtier was a deacon preparing for priestly ordination this coming July. His unexpected and tragic death has plunged the seminary into mourning.

Deacon Outtier edified the whole community with his joyful demeanour and his fervent devotion to his duties, his studies, and his Catholic faith. He was full of promise for his future priestly ministry. But the good Lord, who alone knows the day and hour, has called him on ahead of us. He was anointed and received the Apostolic Blessing at the moment of his death.

Please pray for Deacon Outtier’s soul, for the superiors of the Institute who must bear the loss of one of their spiritual sons, for all of his dear brothers at seminary, and for his family during their time of unspeakable grief.

Requiescat in pace

Canon Amaury Montjean
