Additional observations The Brigittine community was founded in 1370 by St. Birgitta of Sweden; its monks existed from the 14th to the 19th century. The Brigittine monks were refounded in 1976 by Brother Benedict Kirby. Its members wear a grey habit, and are devoted to prayer and contemplation. In addition to Mass, the monks sing the Liturgy of the Hours, say the rosary and engage in spiritual reading. The brothers are especially committed to praying for the souls in purgatory and for the conversion of sinners. The 
community does not engage in any active apostolic works; they are quiet contemplatives.
Not to long ago the new Archbishop of Portland Oregon Alexander Sample visited here and performed the Traditional Latin Mass for the faithfull. He is very fond of the TLM and ordained deacons and subdeacons in 2012 for The Institute of Christ the King. During his homily at the Brigittine Monastery he made the remark that ‘alot feathers may be ruffled” by his saying the TLM but told the congregation it was his duty as Archbishop to say this Holy Mass for the faithfull, so please pray for this good man for he is after all in Portland like Seattle a bastion of liberalism and anti-TLM fervor. As always pray for the return of the TLM and for The Franciscans of The Immaculate who were “destroyed” under this current pontificate.
Great points Janek, I still cannot understand why in God’s name The Franciscans of The Immaculate were utterly crushed? I gave the benefit of the doubt to Pope Francis but after one year with all he says and does, I now get it, his dislike of Tradition and the TLM are very evident. He is after all a product of the Second Vatican Council and a Jesuit.
