District Magazine

Penitential greetings to you all in this holy time of Lent! Here you find a newly formatted Apostle Magazine that has survived its "facelift" recently. The overall plan is to focus on one or two countries in each issue of the Apostle and cover this vast District of Asia over the course of four issues per year...rather than try to "cram" all the news into each issue. In this issue 51 we have tried to turn the spotlight on the interesting apostolate in the country of Malaysia. Some of the articles are historical, some are short snippets of our spiritual work in this enormous field of labor spread over two large land masses (Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia). Hopefully this issue will increase our understanding of the complex and exciting missionary work that is in need of your prayers and support.

2017 is the Fatima year. Our Lord wants to use Our Lady to make Her known and loved. The Foundation of the Militia Immaculatae also took place 100 years ago.

As 2017 is an extraordinary year, this latest issue of The Apostle presents you an extraordinary event taking place in our Asian District this year. The pilgrim statue of Our Lady of Fatima is currently being carried throughout the Philippines for a total distance of more than 2000 km.  

A visible sign of the fecundity of the work of the Society of Saint Pius X is the fact that wherever it goes, it builds chapels, churches, schools, retreat houses, convents, etc.

His Lordship Bishop Fellay visited Vasai and Palayamkottai (India) as well as Negombo (Sri Lanka). The Immaculata has blessed our missionary work, including our "unknown apostolate".

At the priests meeting in Manila, the SSPX clergy of Asia have put all their zeal to place themselves under the powerful Immaculata so as to worthily prepare the centennial of Fatima.
