Priestly Fraternity of St Peter

,

I have just read that a total of 46 young men have joined the two seminaries of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter as first year seminarians this autumn.  They divide equally between the Seminary of St Peter at Wigratzbad in Bavaria, and the Seminary of Our lady of Guadalupe  at Denton, Nebraska.  

The Widratzbad contingent includes nine Frenchmen, two Spaniards, two Portuguese, two Germans, two Czech, one Englishman, two Brazilians,one Mexican one Swiss, and one Austrian. Some of these will be undertaking their studies in German but most will be studying in French.

I understand that among the seminarians starting their studies in Denton are two further Englishmen. 

 I believe that the FSSP has never before had such a large intake of seminarians in a single year.
