Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Mons. Vitus Huonder, 77, from his position as bishop of Chur, Switzerland, on May 20, 2019. He appointed Bishop Pierre Bürcher, 73, as apostolic administrator of the diocese, waiting for the appointment of a successor. According to the Swiss press, Bishop Huonder will retire to the Sancta Maria Institute of Wangs, belonging to the Society of Priests of St. Pius X (FSSPX), separated from Rome. With his presence he wants to contribute "to the unity of the Church".
In addition, in a letter to the faithful of his diocese, Monsignor Huonder, he wrote:
"As you know, I will be installed in the Priestly House of the St. Mary's Institute of Wangs, in the Canton of St. Gallen." This institute belongs to the Priestly Fraternity Saint Pius X. In line with the Holy Father Francis, I commit myself to contribute to the unity of the Church, not to marginalize, but to discern, accompany and help integrate."

Joint statement by Monsignor Huonder and Father Pagliarani [Superior General of FSSPX]
On Monday, May 20, 2019, Pope Francis relieved Bishop Vitus Huonder of his duties as Bishop of the Diocese of Chur (Switzerland), while appointing an administrator with a view to the election of his successor.
According to an intention that he stated long ago, Bishop Huonder is retiring to a house of the Society of Saint Pius X. The one sole purpose of this step is to dedicate himself to prayer and silence, to celebrate the traditional Mass exclusively, and to work for Tradition, the only way of renewing the Church.
The Society of Saint Pius X appreciates Bishop Huonder’s courageous decision and rejoices to be able to provide him with the spiritual and priestly surroundings that he desires so deeply. May this example be followed by others, so as to “restore everything in Christ”.
