Blessing of Religious Articles: On the First Sunday of the Month.
6 Day Votive Lights: The price per candle is $3.00, $70 per case; the small 8 hour votive lights are 50¢ each.
Confessions: Priority should be given especially the last thirty minutes of confessions to those who drive a great distance, have little children, elderly and or are disabled. Those living in closer proximity please be here early; Confessions begin at 8:00 a.m. Of course, and I think that it goes without saying, that those who live in close proximity to the church, should come for confessions on Saturday morning if at all possible.
If you or a loved one is admitted to the hospital, please let your parish priest know.

Our church is dedicated to the practice of the traditional Roman Catholic religion. This includes the traditional Latin Roman Rite of Holy Mass and the sacraments. We do not regard the New Mass created after Vatican Council II to be a true Catholic Mass. Only those who regularly attend exclusively the traditional Latin Rite of Mass, who are properly dressed (see below), and are in the state of Sanctifying Grace may receive.
Please read "Word of Introduction" on the Home page.
Why I am a Cathoiic
She is an institution such as men could not construct, she is one worthy of God. Kingdoms and empires have been founded since she came into the world. For their sound up-building the wisest of men have worked and planned; every human resource, every earthly power has been consecrated to their development; brave men have fought and died to perpetuate them, and yet they are gone. Rarely have the powers of this world fought her battles. Rather they have been arrayed against her, they have assailed her, and yet she lives, strong and vigorous. With nothing but the cross of Christ in their hands, His gospel on their lips, and confidence in Him in their hearts, her missionaries have walked the burning sands of Africa and climbed the frozen hills of northern lands bringing unto Him the nations that are His inheritance. The fight of years, the ravag-es of time, the despoiling hands of men have alike failed to weaken or destroy her with an energy born of God she has surmounted every barrier raised by nature or men, blending into one compact body millions from every race under the sun, despite the fact that they were in other things most dissimilar and hostile. To see a work like that accomplished so triumphantly in the face of such odds and enmity, is to see, not the results of a clever human policy, but the manifest-ation of a power nothing short of God's omnipotence. The history of the Catholic Church is a standing proof that Christ's Church has not failed.
Against every assertion, open or covert, that His Church has failed, I set His promise: "Upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." In the light of this promise, I see clearly that the Catholic Church, which alone goes back through the centuries to the days of Christ, alone has a right to my allegiance, and Protestantism has no valid excuse to offer in justification of its existence. It is practically built on the assertion that Christ did not keep His promises.
"But," someone will say to me, "you surely must admit that there have been a great number of very bad men in your Church, even in its high places, filling the most important and sacred offices. Surely then there was reason for a reformation in the sixteenth century." Let us, for the sake of avoiding useless argument (not because truth compels it) and in hope of getting more effectually at the fearful mistake on which all Pro-testantism is grounded, grant that all the wild statements ever made by prejudiced historians about sixteenth century corruption are true. Even in such a case there would be no reason for the in-vention of Protestantism. Reform would be needed and justified - a boon, no matter what it cost in the shape of human treasure, suffering or blood. All this is true, but it does not pave the way for Protestantism which is a very different thing from reform. Let us do just a bit of thinking and see if what I say be not evident.
We have heard a great deal about corruption in our political life, in high places and in low. Votes have been bought and sold; repeaters have cast ballots for dead men, and sometimes for men that never lived; election officials have made dishonest counts; policemen have squeezed their sin-grimed gain, the price of body and souls, out of harlots' hands, and for bribes they have been blind to flagrant violations of the law, and have let criminals ply their trade; town and city officials, county officials, state officials of every kind and degree from the petty and obscure to the powerful and prominent, have misused their offices and violated their civic duties to enrich them-selves in all manner of grafting, dishonest ways, at the expense of the community. So high has the tide of corruption risen that it has touched the highest legislative councils in state and nation; has invaded a governor's office, and, it is said, has even besmirched the courts of law.
Reform is needed. How bring it about? Shall we destroy our Constitution and form of government? Shall we do away with all civil authority?
