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 CATHOLIC
Holy Writ does not agree with him. It tells me that "no prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation" (2 Peter i. 20). It tells me that in St. Paul's epistles are many things "hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, to their own destruction" (2 Peter iii. 16). It tells me that I am to receive the words of Christ's teachers unless I wish to be damned (Mark xvi. 16). When I asked him if Christ had established any supreme court on earth to whose decisions His children were obliged to listen, the Pro-testant told me, "No!" The Bible contra-dicts him flatly, tells me that Our Lord did appoint men to teach with authority, that His teachers are to be in the world to the end; that I must hear their words unless I would be judged more severely than Sodom and Gomorrah (Matt. x. 15); that to despise them is to despise Him and His Father (Luke x. 16). All these answers of Holy Scripture agree perfectly with those of the Catholic Church, and, therefore, I am a Catholic, for that Church alone stands the test of reason and of Scripture. Protestantism in its initial step, in its fundamental principles is against them both. I must reject it.
AGAIN I AM A CATHOLIC BE-AUSE I WANT THE CHURCH CHRIST BUILT, NOT THOSE BUILT BY MEN.
I do not care for any church that owes its existence to men. Men do not know enough about God or human souls to do a work like that. They know only what God reveals of Himself; nay, not even that, for they see the things of God only as through a glass, after a dark manner. Nor do they know much more of the human heart; its winding, twisting, crook-ed ways are a labyrinth they cannot penetrate. God alone can give us a sound and true religion. He alone can build a church which will at once safeguard His rights, and at the same time go down into every nook and corner of human nature, rousing, developing and bringing to full religious maturity our varied faculties. When I seek a religion and a church, I want His, and none other. That Jesus Christ, our incarnate God, built a Church during His life on earth, nineteen hundred years ago, there can be not the slightest doubt. He chose certain men to be His Apostles, gave them authority, sent them to teach in His name, and made the rejection of their words an extremely serious offense against Himself. Their office and commission was not to die with them. They were to choose succes-sors, who, in turn, were to have the power of sending out other men to carry on the good work. The Church which Jesus Christ thus established, for whose propa-gation He thus provided, whose per-manence He guaranteed, is the Church I want. Within it I will be safe when the rain falls, and the floods come, when the winds blow and beat upon it, for it is built upon a rock.
But, some men say to me upon the instant, that old Church is a ruin; it has gone to pieces; it was so corrupted by the sins of its own children, especially by the sins of those in high places, that it is no longer a fit dwelling place for the Child-ren of God. I look at the man who speaks in that fashion with astonishment and I ask him: "Did Jesus Christ fail?"
"Has His work been undone?" "Have His promises been neutralized and defeated by the weakness and the malice of men?" "Have they so honeycombed with corruption the Church that He built that it is no longer safe, no longer fit for His children to live within its walls?" If that has happened then I beg of you, talk to me no more of churches. I will make my way as best I can through life to God, without a church, if the Church that He established has come to naught. If Christ has failed, no mere man can succeed.
But has His Church failed? I find in the world today a Church which alone of existing ecclesiastical establishments, undoubtedly and admittedly goes back to the days of Christ. She attributes all the glorious victories of her long career and all her present strength of His protection. Her history bears out her claim.
