If there are any Dominicans out there who are interested, this is an English language site for the traditional French Fraternity of St. Vincent Ferrer, which is also advertised on our sidebar.
Of themselves they say: Following the ideals of their Father Saint Dominic, these religious are dedicated to contemplating, studying and preaching the truth.
I suggest emailing them at fsvf@wanadoo.fr if you would be interested in learning to say the old Dominican Rite!
more info:
Established as a Pontifical Religious Institute on 28th October 1988, the Fraternity of St. Vincent Ferrer is distinct from the Order of Preachers, to which it has, however, presented a request for affiliation with the Dominican Family. The brothers are mendicants who live by your alms. Help them to learn and preach the truth in order to win men back to the Kingdom of God. Listen to St. Dominic’s cry, “What will become of sinners?” Can we be indifferent to the plight of so many souls? Have pity on them, for they are waiting to be guided to the light of Christ, under the maternal regard of Our Lady.
Sunday Mass (Old Dominican Rite) is celebrated at 10.30 am. Weekday Masses are at 7.20 am and 11.45 am each day.

They also publish a very good review (in French) called ‘Sedes Sapientiae’. I spent a few days at their monastery last year, and would certainly recommend a visit to anyone who is spending some time in Europe. There are about 15 members of their community at present and the prior, Fr de Blignieres, is well known in traditional circles.
Hi,
I am just wondering. The post refers to the indult group Fraternity Vincent Ferrier. However the photo shows a dominican in sandals and a tonsure which are characteristic of the Pius X Dominicans. The indult group are not tonsured and usually wear white socks and black shoes. Just wondering?
