GREGORIAN LATIN LITURGY Until 1969, the various Catholic liturgies were all of apostolic origin. The Gregorian Latin liturgy, celebrated in this church, follows the tradition of Saint Peter, the first Pope, and has never undergone any essential change till the present time. Every gesture, every word has been weighed and measured with the assistance of the Holy Ghost for the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls. The Lord is in his Holy Temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him. (Hab 2:20) WELCOME VISITORS! We thank you for coming. Whether you are just visiting us for a brief time, looking for a spiritual home, are returning to the practice of Catholic faith, or are interested in finding out more about the Catholic Church; we are happy to have you here, as you are.

I URGE YOU THEREFORE, BROTHERS, BY THE MERCIES OF GOD, TO OFFER YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND PLEASING TO GOD, YOUR SPIRITUAL WORSHIP. Rom. 12:1 Out of respect for Our Lord Jesus Christ and for the edification of our neighbor, we beg all to appear in Church attired in decent deportment and modest dress. However, no one has the right to question others, especially visitors. It belongs to the parish priest alone to instruct the laity when they repeatedly dress or deport below expectation. For gentlemen and lads: Neither shorts, T- THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE, IS MY FLESH. JN 6:52 To receive Holy Communion: - One must be a baptized Catholic, having made a good confession since the last committed mortal sin - if any - in order to be in the state of Grace. - One must believe in the doctrine of Transubstantiation. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. (1 Cor. 11:29) - One must observe one hour of Eucharistic fast (Water and medicine do not break the fast. However, we advise to abstain from food and alcohol for three hours and one hour for other liquid before Holy Communion). - One must not be a public sinner (public adulterer, concubine, public homosexual), excommunicated, or interdicted. - The most important requirement is to have shirts, nor sneakers meet the norms of modesty. For ladies and girls: Neither shorts, slacks, sleeveless, nor short or low-cut dresses meet the norms of modesty. Furthermore, according to apostolic custom or Church law, gentlemen are bareheaded in church, and ladies are requested to cover their heads. Thank you for your charity. a great desire to receive the Body, the Blood, the Soul, and the Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. You may humbly approach the Communion rail at any time after the Communion of the priest. Open the mouth wide and extend your tongue smoothly and horizontally. Do not say Amen. One should feel free to leave the pew for communion whenever. Do not judge your neighbor who abstains from receiving Holy Communion, as there is no obligation to receive it daily. However, Live in a manner to be able to receive communion every day! (St. Augustine) N.B.: In this Church, the faculty to absolve sins is directly granted to the priests by the Holy Father.

Calendar: June 11: Last day of high school The Whole Truth about Fatima: Science and the Facts by Frère Michel de la Sainte Trinity Online Source: https://crc-internet.org/our-doctrine/catholic-counter-reformation/whole-truth-fatima.html#:~:text=the%20whole% 20Truth%20about%20Fatima%20M%20AY%2013%2C,cousins%2C%20Francisco%20and%20Jacinta%2C%20are%20nine%20and%20seven. THE CYCLE OF THE SIX APPARITIONS.... here, for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at this same hour. This leads us from May 13 to October 13, and also describes the cycle of apparitions between the two months dedicated to Our Lady, the month of May and the month of the Rosary. No doubt also it is this regularity, this precision of the heavenly rendezvous, which more than anything else favoured the increase in the crowds coming to the Cova da Iria. What firmness in this promise of Our Lady, by which all sincere and upright minds found themselves as though held in suspense until October 13... For the Blessed Virgin had added: Then I will tell you who I am and what I want. 12 Therefore, after the apparition of October 13, the children had no hesitation in answering questions: Will Our Lady appear again? Canon Formigao asked that very evening. And Lucy answered: I do not expect Her to appear again... Thus it is quite clear that the apparitions formed a unique and well-defined cycle. And yet, the Blessed Virgin had added another promise... AFTERWARDS, I WILL COME BACK HERE A SEVENTH TIME. This last sentence, long omitted by historians, no doubt because of its mysterious character, remains for us uncertain in meaning to this day. In 1946, during a brief stay at Fatima, Sister Lucy confided to Canon Galamba that Our Lady had appeared to her at the Cova da Iria on June 16, 1921, when she stopped there early in the morning before leaving for the college of Vilar, at Porto. It was a silent apparition, solely to comfort the little seer on this day, when she believed she was leaving Aljustrel and the Cova da Iria forever. Was this apparition the seventh one announced on May 13, 1917? Certain authors think so, and it is possible. But has Sister Lucy affirmed it categorically? We do not know. While waiting for the decisive documents we cannot dismiss a priori the hypothesis of Father Martins dos Reis: In spite of its material coincidence, he writes, it is very doubtful that this seventh apparition, so strictly individual, corresponds to the seventh apparition promised on May 13, 1917. If we consider the first six, this promised seventh apparition seems to require and imply recipients and an audience of an equally general and collective character. We do not know what Lucy thinks of this, or even, as is most probable, whether she has concrete reasons for giving a judgment on this question... Is this promised apparition in relation with the third part of the secret?... When the whole mystery of Fatima shall be completed? According to this hypothesis, may we not hope that when all Her requests shall have been fully accomplished by the Holy Father and all the bishops of the world, Our Lady, full of kindness, will manifest Herself a seventh time in the Cova da Iria to mark the dawn of Her triumph? THE VOCATION OF HEAVEN:THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PROMISE. Once the heavenly rendezvous had been fixed, the dialogue continued again. And Lucy, with realism, immediately expresses the desire which imposes itself on her in the presence of the Queen of Heaven: to follow Her, to go there with Her! And I, she asks, shall I go to Heaven? This sacred egoism uncovers the simplicity of a frank and loyal soul. How can we desire that others go to Heaven, if we do not first firmly desire to go ourselves? Reassured, filled with joy by the marvellous promise which fell from the lips of Our Lady, Yes, you shall! the seer goes on boldly: And Jacinta? Yes. And Francisco? Yes, but he will have to say many Rosaries. 13
