Father Bisig is Swiss-German with a very interesting journey of faith. He was ordained a Priest in June of 1977 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre for the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). From 1979-1986 he was Rector of the SSPX seminary in Zaitzkofen, Germany. In 1982, Father Bisig was elected a member of the General Council of the SSPX as an advisor to Archbishop Lefebvre, but he left in 1988 when Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated four bishops against the will of the Holy Father. Father Bisig then went to the Vatican and met with Cardinal Ratzinger. That same year, he became a founder of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP), established by Pope John Paul II, and served two terms as its Superior General from 1988 to 2000. In this capacity, he was appointed as an auditor to the European Synod in Oct 1999 by Pope John Paul II. Father Bisig studied dogmatic theology in Rome from 2001 to 2004 which concluded with a Licenciate in Theology (STL). He is currently Rector of Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, Nebraska, where he also teaches dogmatic theology. Currently three parishioners from Holy Family are studying for the Priesthood there. As a founder and Superior General of the FSSP, Father Bisig has made many trips to Rome and has met with the late Pope John Paul II and the current Pope, Benedict XVI, on a number of occasions. Father Bisig has a story you don’t want to miss! A question and answer session will follow his talk.
