Priestly Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP)   Formed by the Holy See in 1989 from a rib taken from the side of SSPX, to offer the Mass of ages, as opposed to the Mass of the age, they now number 140 priest and 120 seminarians.  They are flourishing and growing in spite of the intimidation and a gratuitous roughing-up they received in 2001 from the bully boys from the Vatican's Modernist divisions.  It is illuminating to compare the fruitfulness of these traditional priests with that of our Novus Ordo clergy.  Scotland, by way of just one example, has approximately 1000 Novus Ordo priests who in one recent year managed exactly zero candidates for the priesthood between the whole sorry lot of them!  Thus the traditionalist priests of FSSP can be shown to be over 1000 time more fruitful at producing priestly vocations than their Novus Ordo counterparts!  FSSP also have a UK website.

St Cecilia's Abbey  St Cecilia's is a Benedictine Abbey at Ryde on the Isle of Wight.

Sisters of Mary   Full title Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist.  This Community was formed in response to the call of Pope John Paul II in the Post-Synodal Exhortation, Vita Consecrata, regarding his belief that today it is opportune to establish new foundations which "bear witness to the constant attraction which the total gift of self to the Lord ... continues to exert even on the present generation." (VC, 12)

Society of St John The Society of St. John is an association of priests and other clerics working in close cooperation with committed laymen.

Tyburn Convent  Following in the footsteps of Farnborough Abbey, the sisters of Tyburn have engaged the services of Native web designers to produce a state-of- the-art website with wonderful graphics that have excited rave reviews from secular web reviewers.  Check out the virtual tour with live pictures.  Let them load fully and then scroll through 180º.  Well worth a visit.  It is especially heartening to see the martyrs given such good publicity.
