About Us

We are members of the Third Order Secular of St. Francis under the authority of a Capuchin community in Morgon, France.  This community chose to keep faithful to the spirit of the Franciscan Order as practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and the many blessed and saints of the same Order throughout the past eight centuries.  Ever since Vatican II (1962-1965), the Franciscan Order along with many other religious orders have adopted a way of life inconsistent with the spirit of their founders; rather, they have adopted the spirit of Vatican II, which is a perversion of the Catholic Faith of all time.  The Third Order Secular of St. Francis (better known today as the Secular Franciscan Order) has adopted this same spirit of Vatican II.  Therefore, as the Capuchins in Morgon are a contradiction to the Vatican II Franciscan Order, we Third Order Seculars of the Fraternity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary are a contradiction to the Vatican II Third Order Seculars.  As signs of contradiction, we not only fight for the sanctity of our own souls, but for the restoration of Holy Mother Church. 

The Capuchin community adheres to the position of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) founded by the saintly Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre; our fraternity does the same.  Therefore, we accept neither the Sedevacantist position (i.e., we accept Pope Benedict XVI as the true pope) nor the conciliar position (we understand that the pope can err in his teaching and practice).  We observe the Rule of Pope Leo XIII promulgated in 1883.  Our fraternity is located in Toronto, Canada and based at the Church of the Transfiguration.  Our Director is Fr. Freddy Mery of the SSPX.  We are only one of many fraternities throughout the world under the authority of the same Capuchin community.
