PiusX Has Reached a Milestone
With the ordinations around the feast of Peter and Paul, the Society of Pius X counts 707 members.
Six were ordained in the US, eight in Switzerland, and three in Germany (Fsspx.News, July 7). Presently there are also twelve PiusX deacons.
Following the Jesuits (14,500), Franciscans (8,500), Benedictines (3,400), and Augustinians (1,800), PiusX is the fifth largest religious congregation, but unlike the other congregations it is not overaged.
Other Roman Rite communities are the Fraternity of St. Peter (341), Institute of Christ the King (80), and the Institute of the Good Shepherd (about 50).
