Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest
Pro-Province of England
We are now reaching the conclusion of the penitential season of Lent and the ceremonies of Holy Week are before. Taking a step back to Ash Wednesday and the commencement of the Lenten period, we bring some photographs from the seminary Ash Wednesday Mass and distribution of Ashes.
Congratulations to Canon Amaury Montjean who successfully defended his Doctoral thesis in Theology after 3 years of hard work. His thesis was Catholic marriage in the works of St. Francis de Sales, Patron of the Institute.
Well done Canon!
Please pray for the 2020 Annual Chapter of the Canons of the ICKSP.
This will occur from Monday 24th August until Friday 28th August. Pray especially for the Canons, who, due to the currentcircumstances, won’t be able to attend this important event of the Institute’s life.
During February, Monsignor Wach visited to Gabon, the place where by God’s Providence, the Institute had it first home, founded 30 years ago. The video below shows the visit.
