The SSPX priests based in New Zealand have now enrolled nearly 350 members in the Militiae Immaculatae from all over the South Pacific: Vanuatu, New Caledonia and New Zealand.
The most recently enrolled New Zealand member was Michael Peyroux, a 13 year old boy who was blessed to make his enrolment at the very spot of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima in 1917. More extraordinary was the fact that he made his consecration on the feast and was enrolled in the M.I. on a feast most dear to Our Blessed Mother, the feast of her Immaculate Heart, on the 22nd of August. Michael was inspired to join the M.I. and consecrate himself to Our Lady on this day and in this place after having listened to the talks delivered by Fr. Karl Stehlin in the Sanctuary of Fatima a few days early at the time of the SSPX International Pilgrimage to Fatima last August.
