The Militia Immaculatæ started in Guatemala (South America). During first enrolment Fathers accepted 75 Knight in to the M.I.
The Chapel of Saint Mary of the Assumption (Capilla Santa María de la Asunción) of the Society of St. Pius X in Guatemala City held a gala ceremony on Friday the 2nd of February, on the Feast of the Purification of Our Lady and the Presentation of the Baby Jesus in the temple. On this occasion, the first admission in Guatemala of Knights of the Immaculata took place. In this ceremony, led by Fr. José Carlos Ramírez, 45 new knights consecrated themselves to the Immaculata in front of the open Tabernacle.
On the same day, another group of 23 new Knights consecrated themselves to the Immaculata in the SSPX mission in the Department of Quetzaltenango in the interior of the country.
Subsequently, on Sunday the 11th of February, on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, led by Father Superior, 7 new knights entered the M.I. in the Chapel of Saint Mary of the Assumption. God willing, in coming months, more people will prepare themselves in the hope that, little by little, our whole parish will be consecrated to Our Most Blessed Virgin Mary. We place all our faith in her and, if we are faithful to the grace of God, her reign will be expanded; or, rather, her reign will be reinstated in Guatemala, which has been infected by the Protestantism financed by rich countries. Guatemala was, is, and will be Marian Catholic: we have many feasts of the Most Blessed Virgin, our city is dedicated to the advocating of Our Lady of the Assumption, and the whole country is dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary; she will overcome! We are grateful for the visit of Fr. Karl Stehlin to our country in December, during which he was able to acquaint us with the Militia Immaculatæ. It brought a new spirit to the fraternity, and on the commendation of our Superior General, we received it with great joy and love.
ALL FOR HER, ALL WITH HER, ALL IN HER AND ALL FOR THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
