Insititute of Christ the King

The Institute of Christ the King has been serving our parish since 2005 when Bishop Vigneron appointed Fr. Wiener chaplain to the Traditional Latin Rite community at St. Margaret Mary and his Delegate for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite in the Oakland diocese. The work that has been done here in these three years and that continues to develop the constantly growing traditional community, now and in the future, is specifically characterized by the Institute’s spirituality. It seems therefore important for the whole parish to learn more about this spiritual character of Fr. Wiener’s community in which he has been trained for the priesthood and which continues to be his spiritual root and family. We present in this and in the following issues of our bulletin the Institute and its specific spiritual identity:

Because of the regulations of the estate of the last Countesses, they had to find a successor who would take over the building and guarantee the celebration of the traditional Mass at this place. We were very happy to be able to accept this generous offer, especially because the Archbishop Silvio Cardinial Piovanelli was immediately ready to give our Motherhouse and seminary canonical erection in his Diocese.

From this day forward, the history of the Institute has been a history of steady growth and more and more apostolic work around the whole world. Soon, the apostolates in France, Spain, United States, South America, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany could be opened. More and more seminarians joined the Institute to have a traditional Catholic formation to the priesthood. The spirit of St. Francis de Sales, expressed in the motto of the Institute "Veritatem facientes in caritate," operate the truth in charity, created the Institute under the guidance of Monsignor Gilles Wach to a family of priests and non-priestly members of the Institute, which is centered on the worthy celebration of the Holy Mysteries, the Proclamation of the whole Catholic Truth, and a genuine Catholic lifestyle. Grace, truth, charity, and culture are elements of "family life" typical to the houses of the Institute. We are always happy to hear that the faithful who visit our apostolates and priories notice the atmosphere of the Institute's particular spirituality present in all the environments where we live.

"Cook the truth in charity until it tastes sweet," this famous quotation of St. Francis de Sales is the principle of our apostolic work. Fruitless discussions or, worse, uncharitable polemics never help to attract souls to the Lord. Again, St. Francis de Sales said: "One drop of honey attracts more bees than a barrel of vinegar."                                                        [To be continued]

Pope Benedict in his First Message in the Sistine Chapel on April 20th, 2005

“ … Although the weight of responsibility laid on my own poor shoulders is enormous, there is no doubt that the divine power on which I can count is boundless: "You are "Peter', and on this rock I will build my Church" (Mt 16: 18). In choosing me as Bishop of Rome, the Lord wanted me to be his Vicar, he wanted me to be the "rock" on which we can all safely stand. I ask him to compensate for my limitations so that I may be a courageous and faithful Pastor of his flock, ever docile to the promptings of his Spirit …”
