The Renewal of the Order redone 2018

The Renewal of the Marian Order in 1909-1910 100 Appendix: Consent of the Apostolic Administrator of the Lausanne and Geneva Diocese, J. Abbet, to open a house of study and the novitiate of the Congregation of Marian Brothers in Fribourg Fribourg, November 8, 1911 The Congregation of Marian Brothers of the Immaculate Conception of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, established in the seven- teenth century in the Polish Kingdom, approved by Popes Innocent XII, XIII as well as Pius VI, has grown widely in the Polish Kingdom and in Portugal. However, in the nineteenth century it has been almost completely destroyed by persecution in Russia. With the consent and personal involvement of the Bishops Ordinary of Mohylev, Warsaw, and Sejny, as well as the surviving Superior General, several diocesan priests, with the consent of the Holy See, have dedicated themselves completely to the Renewal of the almost extinct work, even more so because in the Russian Empire clerical monastic congregations are highly desirable. His Holiness Pope Pius X benevolently deigned to confirm this revived Congregation and its slightly modified constitutions on September 15, 1910. permission of the Ordinariate, humbly requests Papal consent to move the novitiate from St. Petersburg to Fribourg in Switzerland. The reason for the move is that, as we are taught by experience, because of unjust laws, novitiate in Russia can be pursued only with the greatest difficulty, especially if a large number of priests as can- didates is involved. The humble servant and most dedicated son of Your Holiness, Jerzy Matulewicz ACIVCSVA, S 26, vol. 1, original, in Latin.
