Tomorrow, May 13th, will be the 105th anniversary of Pope Pius XII's episcopal consecration, AND the first apparition at Fatima. Both events took place at noon, to the pealing of the Regina Caeli bells. What a day.

Today Holy Mother Church remembers St. Juliana Falconieri.  St. Juliana was the foundress of the Religious Sisters of the Third Order of Servites (or the Servite Tertiaries). Her Uncle was one of the Seven Servite Founders.

No more public Masses or Sacraments at @ICKSP . It seems the draconian attacks of the heretic known as Cupich were a legitimate issue and not only rumor. We must reject the Novus Ordo and all of its errors which allow heresy, scandal, sacrilege, and blasphemy but not Catholicism.

Today up until 1955 was the Octave of Corpus Christi.  Priests who regularly offer the 1962 Missal may generally choose to offer a Votive Mass of the Blessed Sacrament today.

Saint Anne was the inner sanctuary in which was formed the living tabernacle which was to house the Son of God made Man. The solemn definition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception provides us with even greater insight into the wonderful dignity of Saint Anne.

Fellow Traditional Catholics: Friday in the Octave of Christmas is not a Holy Day of Obligation. Hence, Friday abstinence is still required. Reject the novelty of the 1983 Code.

Leaving the Catholic Church because of heretics is like leaving the Last Supper because Judas Iscariot is at the table. Find a Latin Mass parish or Eastern Rite parish where you can stay rooted in the grace of the sacraments and the truths of the faith.

Just FYI, the Angelus comes back tomorrow evening as the Easter season comes to a close with First Vespers of Trinity Sunday. So Regina Caeli in the morning and at Noon then Angelus at 6PM. For those that do Compline, Salve Regina resumes as the Marian antiphon.
