Latin Mass in Winnipeg

There is a tactic employed by Bishops in reference to the Tridentine Mass or as they prefer to call it the 'Extraordinary Form' or even the 'Latin Mass'.

They are silent on the presence of the SSPX in their dioceses.  .

I presume the real reasons is that they don't want to draw attention to the alternative to the various types of Masses that are offered in their dioceses


Take for example the following article in the Winnipeg Free Press which I just noticed on Fr. Zed's blog:
“I go to a Latin mass and I serve there, so I have to know the language to respond to all the prayers,” ... , who attends Winnipeg’s only weekly Latin mass at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church.Winnipeg Children Learn Latin ...
The SSPX has been working in Canada for decades, particularly in the major centres in Canadian provinces.  I would have been surprised if they weren't present in Winnipeg.

A little research and we find that the truth is that there has been a group of faithful attending the "Latin Mass" in Winnipeg 'weekly' since the mid-eighties.

According to SSPX.ca we find that in Winnipeg there is an SSPX priory with "Latin Masses" 6 out of 7 days a week and always on Sundays.  Further, the priory was established in 1985 as a continuance of the work of Fr. Yves Normandin (whose mass I had the blessing to serve as a youth).

I assume that Monday Masses are not scheduled because the Priests go on a mission run to bring the Sacraments to others across the region.

Frankly, as long as the Bishops shun Traditional Catholics that have turned to the SSPX for the Sacraments all these long years, it is continued proof that the crisis is not over.

Why such an assertion?

Because if they (the Bishops) will accept all manner of 'christians' and 'non-christians' in their company and not those who adhere to the Doctrine of the Faith - then the doctrinal confusion will continue to abound. For proof read this: Pope Francis on Contraception.

For your reference, below are the complete details on the SSPX priory in Winnipeg.

St. Raphael's Priory was established in 1985, as the center of the SSPX apostolate for Western Canada, to carry on the work done previously by Father Yves Normandin. At that time, the chapel and the rectory were located on Giroux Street, in St. Boniface. In October 1990, we purchased a protestant church, as well as two houses off McKenzie Street. This move allowed us to have large more spacious facilities. The actual size of the congregation is about 150.

Rome and SSPX - Version 2026 Part 2

By
 + JMJ Part 2 Detailed Synopsis and Timeline (ChatGPT) At this point, I took the shortcut of uploading all of my previous links and the latest SSPX and Rome links to ChatGPT. This way we’ll see how ChatGPT interprets the world as presented on the internet. P^3 Briefing Memo Subject: Rome–SSPX Relations and Planned Episcopal Consecrations (July 1, 2026) Prepared for: Ecclesial / Academic / Media Briefing Date: February 2026 Issue Overview The Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) has announced its intention to consecrate new bishops on July 1, 2026 , potentially without a papal mandate . The Holy See has acknowledged ongoing talks with the SSPX and stated its desire to avoid rupture, but has not granted approval nor outlined canonical consequences. The situation revives unresolved tensions dating to 1988 and raises questions about schism, authority, and doctrinal continuity. Background Founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the SSPX seeks to preserve pre-Vat...

Schism

By
There is some question as to whether the Pope can be in actual schism as per the Cardinal Torquemada: Citing the doctrine of Pope Innocent III, Torquemada further teaches:  "Thus it is that Pope Innocent III states [De Consuetudine] that, it is necessary to obey the Pope in all things as long as he, himself, does not go against the universal customs of the Church, but should he go against the universal customs of the Church, 'he need not be followed' . . . " [Cited from A Theological Vindication of Roman Catholic Traditionalism, Father Paul Kramer, B.Ph., S.T.D., M. Div. (2nd edition, St. Francis Press, India) p. 29. The full quotation from Cardinal Torquemada reads, "By disobedience, the Pope can separate himself from Christ despite the fact that he is head of the Church, for above all, the unity of the Church is dependent on its relationship with Christ. The Pope can separate himself from Christ either by disobeying the law of Christ, or by commanding som...

SSPX / DICI: Communiqué of the General House of the Society of St. Pius X concerning the episcopal consecration of Fr. Jean-Michel Faure.

By
+ JMJ The following is the communiqué of the SSPX regarding the Bishop Williamson's consecration of Fr. Faure. As a follow-up to this article ,  I would like to highlight the rationale for denouncing the consecration. Communiqué of the General House of the Society of St. Pius X concerning the episcopal consecration of Fr. Jean-Michel Faure. On March 19, 2015, Bishop Richard Williamson performed the episcopal consecration of Fr. Jean-Michel Faure at the Benedictine Monastery of the Holy Cross in Nova Friburgo, Brazil. Bishop Williamson and Fr. Faure have not been members of the Society of St. Pius X since 2012 and 2014, respectively, because of their violent criticisms of any relations with the Roman authorities. According to them, such contacts were incompatible with the apostolic work of Archbishop Lefebvre.(1) The Society of St. Pius X regrets sincerely that this spirit of opposition has led to an episcopal consecration. In 1988 Archbishop Lefebvre had c...

Bishop Huonder, SSPX in Schism? - Nope, Consecration of Holy Oils - Update 1

By
 + JMJ  So Bishop Huonder is in the news for two reasons.  First, his 'Testimony' concerning Pope Francis etc. This was received as a nice reinforcement by Trads (SSPX and others).  Of course, there are those that now are demanding an apostolic investigation.  Yawn, been here before.  This was predictable as other bishops who have followed the same path came to the same conclusions.  It is the way. Second, he celebrated the Chrism Mass and blessed the Holy Oils for use in the SSPX's European chapels and ceremonies.  This caused a stir amongst some Trads who are locked in one or the other statements made by either Archbishop Lefebvre or others. I received two versions of a question regarding this event: Hi Tradical Do you have any comments about doubtful oils in SSPX europe by +Huonder (NO Bishop not conditionally consecrated)? God Bless Hi Tradical Any thoughts on Huonder oil, not conditionally ordained and consecrated by SSPX bishops? God Bless M...
