Here is more information on the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest:

“The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a society erected by the Catholic Church on September 1, 1990. Today it maintains Houses and Apostolates on several continents including North America. The goal of the Institute is the honor of God and the sanctification of priests in the service of the Church and souls through a spiritual formation in Roman Catholic Doctrine and piety. Its specific aim is missionary, to spread and defend the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ in all realms of human life.”

This organization has recently moved its headquarters to Chicago but Msgr. Schmitz is the rector of St. Agatha. We can thank our own Archbishop Bishop Raymond Leo Burke for allowing this fine order of priests to come to St. Louis.

Please contact Howard Brandt by phone (314-894-0357) or e-mail him for a retreat agenda.

Our charge for the retreat is $15.00 per person to cover expenses. If are able to send a little more please do so in order to assist those who might need help. If you have a problem covering this charge, especially those with large families Do not be hesitate to ask for help. We want to make this retreat available to as many people as we can.

I attended a retreat last year with Msgr. Schmitz and highly recommend it!
