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.
Sanctuary Lamp: If you would like to have the Sanctuary Lamp burning for the repose of soul, anniversary or remembrances, fill out a request and return. The usual donation is $15.
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.
Some notes for The Guidance of Parents
by Father Daniel Lord S.J. (1944)
A woman who makes a success a dress shop is regarded as a remarkable woman; a mother who beautifully dressed two little daughters on a carefully worked-out bud-get is a nobody who can be treated with amusement. It is praiseworthy for a wo-man to be an interior decorator and furnish the homes of other women; it is nothing meriting for a woman to make her own home a thing of joy and loveliness.
Contempt for Motherhood
Each year when one or other of the magazines or national polls selects the country’s ten most outstanding women, you may be perfectly sure that two professions will be ignored: No one will pick a nun or a mother. If a married woman who has children happens to be on the list, it will not be because of her achievements in motherhood but rather for the truck she drives, the surgical oper-ations she performs, her radio broadcasts, or her part in a movement that is working to eliminate children and make mother-hood, not a career, but an accident.
Indeed the young married woman these days begins almost on the day of her marriage to be bombarded with advertisements telling her how stupid she is to have children at all. Any woman who has to her eternal credit four children is regarded by her contemporaries — always the pagans, often the Catholics — as clearly a stupid ninny who hasn’t sense enough, wit enough, ro courage enough to protect herself against the aggression of children.
Motherhood is distinctly a minor profession. Even the woman who breeds terriers or Persian cats is encouraged to regard with condescension the woman who gives birth to what once we all considered the children of God and the springtime of our race.
Rival Jobs
Even the good mother these days, the one who regards her profession with respect and affection, is likely to be harassed to the point of inefficiency. Once on a time motherhood was easily a woman’s whole career, her full-time job. Now she may have to earn a living, not through any desire or greed on her part, but simply to keep the family together.
Or she is forced by the current of modern living into varied time-consuming activities. She must belong to clubs. She has to take in charity work. She is asked to serve on committees or even to renew her youthful love of the amateur stage. She must be hostess to her husband’s business associates, or she must travel with him when he goes on those tours which blend vacation with the making of “important contacts.”
She is a busy woman, this American mother of the present ear. Even the enslavement f electricity to her service has, far from making life simpler for her, opened the possibility of more and more varied demands upon her time and energies.
Untrained
Again, as in the case of the father, she may feel toward her job of motherhood that fear and apprehension and desire for flight that is common to all unprepared people. If anyone were to ask me to go out onto the flying field and take a bomber up, I should bet to be excused. Quite obviously I am totally unprepared for the job. Indeed a perfect nightmare would consist in my finding myself in the air at the controls of a plane, which I know myself utterly unable to handle. We do with joy the job we feel prepared to do and adequate to handle. We are miserably ill at ease in any situation for which we know ourselves to be unfitted.
That is always true of untrained people, whatever the situation into which we are catapulted. So why be surprised that modern mothers shy away from the job of motherhood and are abjectly conscious of their lack of ability to handle it?
Girls in college will get splendid biology courses that make no slightest reference to the life of children.
