What a beautiful privilege - to be the brother of Archbishop Lefebvre! To see all of the wonderful fruits of Tradition today and realize that this was made possible by Divine Providence working through your own brother, who was a great champion and defender of the Traditional Catholic Faith, the Mass of All Time and the Catholic Priesthood! May the world be granted many holy Catholic families like the Lefebvres for the restoration of Christendom and the Catholic Church!
