Feast of Saints Peter & Paul 2024 This feast is considered so great that, since the earliest days of the church, it was given a vigil for preparation. Red vestments are used on this day to symbolize not only the blood of these two great martyrs, but more importantly the fire of their love. They…
Feast of The Sacred Heart 2024 This feast was created relatively recently in the history of the Church, yet it was foreshadowed even in the Old Testament. As God took the rib from Adam’s side while he slept to form his great love, Eve, so while Christ slept in death on the Cross the Church…
2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2024 Tonsure Ceremony With first tonsure one becomes a cleric. This ceremony has been part of the Church since the 5th century. Just as slaves were shorn to show their complete ownership by their master, so the cleric shows that he now belongs to Christ. The surplice is imposed to represent…
Pentecost Sunday 2024 Pentecost is called the birthday of the Catholic Church because, although it was conceived on the Cross, this is the first day the Church manifested herself in the world. Not only every human being, but all nations and governments are called to convert to Christ. True Catholics reject the false tenets of…

Confirmation Saturday 2024 Confirmation marks a new outpouring of the graces of the Holy Ghost. At Baptism we are able to teach the Faith in our own name, but with Confirmation we are given a new strength and the ability to teach and defend the Faith in the name of the whole Church. In days…
Good Friday 2024 We do not have the Mass today because even though the Mass is the re-presentation of Our Lord’s death, it is also the reminder of His Resurrection. The Church avoids even the slightest hint of joy on this day. An infinite offense was offered to God and only an Infinite Being could…
Passion Sunday 2024 Saint Patrick stood for the true God against the pagans in Ireland. He threw down the idols of the druids and established the Catholic Church in what is now known as the Island of Saints. Saint Cyril of Jerusalem fought against the Arian heresy and was persecuted for it. His bravery and…
Ash Wednesday 2024 The Church reminds us of the fate that awaits all men. We are mortal and destined to return to dust. The sacramental of blessed ashes reminds us of our mortality and also the transient nature of worldly glory. From the triumphant Roman generals to the Byzantine emperors, a Memento Mori has been…
