Bishop Tissier has developed an infection and was unable to perform ordinations yesterday (details below).
As noted earlier here, there is a rumour that the SSPX has received a mandatum. I pray that this rumour proves true (we'll know at the end of the month) as with the passage of time and on-going nature of the crisis of the Church (please don't say 'what crisis?'), they're going to need more bishops (my vote would be for 4+ new bishops). Bishop Tissier's illness only highlights the reality.
Please pray for Bishop Tissier as the longer one lives the more susceptible one's body becomes to infection and disease.

The ordination to minor orders, scheduled
for today, April 5, sadly had to be delayed. The ceremonies will be
re-scheduled as soon as possible and we will update everyone
accordingly.
The occasion for the surgery is the infected bug bite that he received while traveling in Europe. For some reason, the oral antibiotics that he was prescribed in Europe did not "take hold" and the infection developed into cellulitis. When, upon his return to the United States, it became clear that oral antibiotics were not proving effective, he was admitted into the hospital this past Saturday, March 30th, to receive intravenous antibiotics. Nevertheless, from recent medical imaging, it seems that some of the infected tissue has "walled itself off" (not an entirely uncommon occurrence with infections) and cannot be reached by intravenous antibiotics, his doctors felt that the safest and surest course was to do the simple surgery to take out the infected tissue.
As soon as we have an update, we will pass along the outcome. Please pray for His Excellency, the seminarians, and their families!
