MSFS USA REGION

On July 3, 2007, on the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle, “Missionaries of St. Francis De Sales (MSFS) USA Region” was inaugurated and Fr. Augustine Tharappel, msfs, was installed as the first Regional Superior. Most Reverend Alvaro Corrada, SJ, Bishop of the Diocese of Tyler, Texas, USA, was the main celebrant at the inaugural Eucharist. Five of the forty Fransalian priests and more than sixty of the participants of Wellspring programs joined the celebration.

The new region held its first Regional Assembly in September 2007, at its headquarters in Tyler, Texas, USA. It was a time of grace for all, as it brought members together, provided opportunities to meet, pray, share and discuss the desires, aspirations, hopes and plans of the USA Region. Most importantly, it was a time to thank God for bringing members together as a community of brothers.
