Confraternity of Catholic Clergy

Confraternity of Catholic Clergy We are a national association of Catholic priests & deacons loyal to Holy Father & Magisterium and under patronage of Our Lady Queen of the Clergy Msgr.

The Confraternity of Catholic Clergy is an association of more than 500 Roman Catholic Priests and Deacons pledged to the pursuit of personal holiness, loyalty to the Roman Pontiff, commitment to theological study and strict adherence to the authentic teachings of the Magisterium. Founded in 1975, the Confraternity seeks to implement the call of Vatican II (Presbyterorum Ordinis #8, Code of Canon

Law #278, Pastores Dabo Vobis #81, and the Directory on the Ministry and Life of Priests #29) for ongoing intellectual, spiritual and pastoral formation of the local clergy. The Confraternity achieves this in three ways:

a) Annual Convocation where theological scholars and experts give lectures and hold discussions with members;

b) Quinquennial (every 5 yrs) international conferences in Rome with CCC's from Australia, UK, Ireland and USA;

c) Local chapter meetings where afternoons of recollection take place, including time for theological reading/discussion, common prayer (Vespers), Eucharistic Holy Hour, Rosary, confessions and time for fraternity. WE ENDORSE PRO-LIFE EFFORTS, SUCH AS PRIESTS FOR LIFE AND HUMAN LIFE INTERNATIONAL, IN THEIR APOSTOLATE TO DEFEND AND PROTECT THE MOST INNOCENT AND MOST VULNERABLE OF OUR SOCIETY, THE UNBORN AND THE TERMINALLY ILL.

Please join me in thanking Our Lord for the election of Pope Leo XIV, Successor of Saint Peter, as the Shepherd of the Church throughout the world. The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe at La Crosse has a particularly strong bond with the Roman Pontiff, especially through its affiliation with the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major. I urge all pilgrims and friends of the Shrine to pray fervently for Pope Leo XIV that Our Lord, through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saint Peter Apostle, and Pope Saint Leo the Great, will grant him abundant wisdom, strength, and courage to do all that Our Lord is asking of Him in these tumultuous times. May God bless Pope Leo and grant him many years. Viva il Papa!

ANNONYMOUS CONFESSION: If all priests in the United States only heard confessions behind a screen and thereby unable to see and recognize the penitent, then district attorneys and judges would have no reason to attempt breaking the seal of confession. While no priest can reveal what he heard and/or who made the confession (automatic excommunication if he did), without being able to accurately identify the person behind the screen might discourage the unconstitutional idea anyway.
