Brother Michael Mandernach, CSPX, is retired in Spring Valley.
Brother Michael Mandernach, of the fraternal order of the Brothers of St. Pius X, was appointed to serve the faith community of St. Luke's of Boyceville and Sacred Heart of Jesus, Spring Valley by Bishop John Paul as a Pastoral Associate in 1984. Brother Michael served 17 years in the Sacred Heart community, nine of which also included serving at St. Luke's. In 2013, he was relieved of his duties and retired in the Spring Valley area while he worked on a book about his community of brothers. Completed in 2014, his book Together as Brothers: A History of the Brothers of St. Pius X was well received for its detailed and intimate narrative of the thirty year history of the religious order. Recently celebrating his 60th year as a religious, Brother Michael continues to spread his joy of the gospel and love of Christ will all whom he encounters.
