From July 30 to August 2, 2026, the Dickinson Priory hosted Bishop Marc Hanappier for several exceptional ceremonies: the fiftieth anniversary jubilee of the Queen of Angels parish, the consecration of its church, and the administration of the sacrament of confirmation.
The highlight of these days was the consecration of the church on Saturday, August 1st.
For nearly four hours, the solemn rites of consecration unfolded. Through the prayers of the Roman Pontifical, the bishop, in a sense, removed the building from its secular use to consecrate it definitively to God. The altar itself was consecrated and received the relics of the martyrs, recalling the ancient tradition of the Church of celebrating the Holy Sacrifice at their tombs.
The twelve consecration crosses placed on the church walls are also anointed with holy chrism. They will remain the visible signs of this consecration and will be illuminated each year on its anniversary.
The consecration coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Queen of Angels parish. Half a century of Catholic life thus found its culmination in the solemn consecration of the church.
These days concluded on Sunday, August 2nd, with the administration of the sacrament of Confirmation by Bishop Hanappier, followed by a solemn pontifical mass.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, for the greater glory of God!

Kennedy Hall didn't name the FSSP parish in question but I will. It's Saint John Vianney Latin Mass Community FSSP parish in Maple Hill, Kansas which is just outside of Topeka and right across the river from Saint Mary's. The 2 priests who wrote this letter are Assistant Chaplain Father Simon Zurita F.S.S.P. and Assistant Chaplain Father Anthony Rice F.S.S.P.

You may be wondering why there are only 2 assistant chaplains named and no main parish priest at this FSSP parish. Well, there was, right until a few days before this insane letter was published. On the 13th of June 2026 Father Eric Flood F.S.S.P., formerly the Chaplain of the Saint John Vianney Latin Mass Community FSSP parish, was suspended from public ministry by the Archdiocese of Kansas City due to allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor. It's likely but unclear whether Father Flood had any hand in drafting the letter or any of the subsequent things the parish has said regarding the SSPX.

The FSSP parish in question went further than even what is in Kennedy Hall's video in their parish newsletter where they issued these insane demands of the laity:
>Practical Considerations regarding the current situation of the SSPX. The same also applies to the CMRI in Silver Lake and the SSPX – Resistance in Emmett:
- The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas does not want children enrolled in the Academy
- Members of the SSPX can not be a sponsor at Baptism or Confirmation at SJV
- Members of SJV can not be a sponsor at the Immaculata for baptism or confirmation
- We can no longer attend marriages at the SSPX
- The Sacrament of Confession can not be received at the Immaculata
- Funerals may be attended for a sufficient reason (e.g. a relative) at the Immaculata, provided one attends passively and not receive Holy Communion
The Academy referred to is the SSPX school, SJV refers to the FSSP parish in question (Saint John Vianney) and the Immaculata is the big SSPX church in Saint Mary's.

>Today on Questions with Father, we examine the recent decree of excommunication against the SSPX and the serious questions it has raised for priests, faithful, and families. Fr. Paul Robinson explains the Society’s response, the difference between disobedience and schism, and why the SSPX argues that no true excommunication has been incurred. We’ll also look at the validity of confessions and marriages, the role of supplied jurisdiction, and the deeper crisis in the Church that led to these consecrations. Above all, Father helps the faithful understand how to carry this cross without bitterness, while remaining firm in the Faith and praying for the Church.

I have no idea how long this has been going on for and no, before someone asks, this isn't the local diocesan priests offering the novus ordo in a shared building. The diocesan parish of the Immaculate Conception was shut down last May and the only people in the building now are the ICKSP. And the screenshots I have attached, which you can read for yourself at the links provided, are from the ICKSP's own websites.
The Canon Matthew Talarico that you see named and listed in the bulletin is literally the ICKSP Provincial in the United States, meaning he is in charge of the ICKSP presence across the entire country.
I knew the ICKSP had their issues, such as concelebrating the novus ordo chrism Mass like the FSSP do, but this is on a whole other level and ten times worse. They're offering weekly public novus ordos. I'm genuinely shocked that things are this bad with them.
Keep in mind the fact that SSPX priests take an oath to NEVER say the novus ordo. The solution and resolution to the crisis in the Church is never going to come from the Ecclesia Dei groups and that has never been clearer than it is now. Almost 40 years and still no Ecclesia Dei bishops, meanwhile they're literally offering the novus ordo. Clown world.
