Two novices have taken their first religious vows with the Sisters of the Society of Saint Pius X in Argentina, marking a milestone for the traditionalist religious community as it commemorates four decades of presence in the country. The profession ceremony took place on April 12, which this year coincided with the celebrated feast of Divine Mercy Sunday, historically referred to as “Quasimodo Sunday” – at the novitiate dedicated to St Thérèse of the Child Jesus in the city of Pilar.
The event was attended by members of the local religious community and clergy associated with the traditionalist movement. The Sisters belong to the female branch of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), an international priestly society established by the late French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. The society operates seminaries, schools and chapels worldwide and is known for its attachment to the pre-Second Vatican Council liturgy and the integrity of its teaching, particularly the Traditional Latin Mass.
