Praised Be Jesus Christ!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,

Yesterday, July 16, 2021, Pope Francis issued a Motu Propio, Traditionis custodes, making significant changes to the current law of the church regarding the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). We have received permission from Archbishop Aymond to continue to offer this Mass here at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish. The Traditional Latin Mass schedule remains:

This might not seem to affect most of the parishioners at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Parish. However, we are all Catholics and there are many of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world who are angry and afraid because the changes are significant. For a clear summary of the situation, please read this article. Oremus pro invicem. Let us pray for one another. 

In addition, I ask all of you to please consider being invested with the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and to wear it lovingly for the rest of your lives. These changes to the Traditional Latin Mass took place on her feast day, July 16th, and we should all seek her help in this current time of trial. I have placed her statue in the sanctuary of our church in the place where the statues of the Sacred Heart and the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima have occupied in the past. Turning to Our Lady with our scapulars close to our hearts and praying the Holy Rosary with love each day will help us to stay at the Holy Cross in this trial and in every trial that we go through in life.

Let us remember these words that Bishop Athanasius Schneider shared with us on the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel:

In Christ,

Fr. Clark
