Notre Dame de La Salette Boys Academy

Notre Dame de La Salette Boys Academy is a traditional Catholic boarding school founded in 2005 by the Society of St. Pius X.

Located in the farmland of east central Illinois, La Salette Academy provides a strong religious, academic, and physical formation in an immersive Catholic environment. Despite the school’s limited enrollment of under 100 students for optimum class size, La Salette’s quality facilities and sports programs rival that of much larger schools.

Archbishop Lefebvre and the Benedictines

The last words spoken to the founders of this monastery remain forever engraved in their hearts: “Now is the time to do the impossible, you must do the impossible to establish oases of the faith, where the true spirit of the Church can be found. It is your duty to persevere in the true Faith. The impossible must be done to establish this Monastery.” (Among the last writings of Archbishop Lefebvre, extract from a personal letter to Fr. Cyprian, March 1991)

Founded in 1991 in the southern Rocky Mountains that overlook Silver City, New Mexico, Our Lady of Guadalupe Monastery is the home of a young community of Benedictine monks. The secluded, mountainous site, the silence and austere beauty of the high-desert terrain all join together to bespeak the particular vocation of this monastic foundation: the primacy of contemplation, a return to the spirit of the monks of Christian antiquity who, with the blessing of the Church, established a unique way of life lived for the honor and glory of God alone.

Franciscan Sisters of Christ the King

"What the Franciscans did once, they can do again!"

These are the words of Fr. Eugene N. Heidt, the founder of the Franciscan Sisters of Christ the King. He established this community of sisters to follow in the footsteps of Saint Francis, helping to rebuild the Church through traditional Catholic education. Like Saint Francis, these Sisters would begin from nothing, completely dependent on the generosity of others, rebuilding the Franciscan way of life. Nothing less than the Franciscan approach would suffice —the total giving of self in response to Christ’s love for us; great, loving acts of trust in the Providence of God; confidence in God’s ability to work through weak human beings.

The Franciscan Sisters of Christ the King. The congregation's founders, Fr. Eugene Heidt and Mother Mary Herlinda, are on the right.

"God writes straight with crooked lines."

Our foundress, Rev. Mother Mary Herlinda, quotes Fr. Heidt. When she told him she was too old to help found a new community, this was his response. She decided that her age would not stand in the way of God’s Will. Her unwavering faith in God, her dedication to the Rule of Saint Francis, and her unfailing courage provide the cornerstone of our foundation.

Our prayer life centers around the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered by the priests of the Society of St. Pius X and also by priests who work with the SSPX. Next in importance is the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary said in Latin and community prayers said in English, including the Holy Rosary.

"Francis, go, repair my house, which as you see, is falling completely to ruin!"
