Dear Friends and Benefactors,
I hope that all of you were able to profit last month from the celebration of
the anniversary of our redemption. Indeed, Holy Mother Church sets aside the
week leading up to Easter and calls it holy because She desires that we make a
good end to our Lenten penances by drawing closer to God, i.e., become
more holy, through the contemplation of the holy mysteries of our Lord’s
passion, death and resurrection. Nor does She want us to stop with Easter, but
to continue drawing closer to Him each day of the year.
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support, spiritual and
material, and to extend an invitation to join us for the blessing of our new
United States District headquarters, located northwest of Kansas City, just
outside Platte City, Missouri. This project, started just over two years ago,
should see completion in early July. We will, however, take the opportunity of
Bishop Fellay’s next visit to the United States to bless the new Regina Coeli
House on June 15th. The blessing of the new building will take place in the
afternoon around 3:00 p.m., after the 8:00 a.m. celebration of the Corpus
Christi Mass and procession at St. Vincent’s.
The former district house will
then be used as the priory for St. Vincent’s and also serve as a training center
for priests who, now aware of how serious the crisis in the Church is, wish to
learn the Tridentine Mass and review the traditional courses of philosophy and
theology. Your continued support for this project, both spiritually and
materially, is also much appreciated.
Next month I will take up again
the consideration of the 3Rs (Respect, Responsibility, Resourcefulness) which
are so important in the formation of children.
Sincerely in the Sacred Heart
of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Fr. John D. Fullerton |
