On Saturday 22nd October 2016, two of our Brothers, Br Seelos Maria, F.SS.R. and Br Peter Mary, F.SS.R. received the Clerical Tonsure at the Seminary of the Fraternity of St Peter in Nebraska, USA. Tonsure was received at the hands of Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, bishop emeritus of the diocese of Lincoln, in which the seminary is.
Our Brothers with the other seminarians who are to receive tonsure, approach the altar.
The seminarians of the Fraternity of St Peter who are being tonsured also received their cassock in the same ceremony. Here they kneel around the altar in preparation for Tonsure, while the bishop addresses them.
During Tonsure, the bishop cuts the hair of each candidate in the points of the Cross.

God Bless you all. Thank you for your YES to Christ and His Church. I will remember you in prayer !
Congratulations to the tonsured Brothers. Are the Redemptorist brothers considering establishing a Latin Mass Chaplaincy anywhere else in the world, similar to Christchurch, now that you are ordaining more members? There are so many places that desperately need a holy priestly presence like you.
Congratulations.
