Homily #090525 ( 08min) Play – Using the 1962 calendar for this Traditional Mass, we celebrate the feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy. Fr. Ignatius emphasizes the significance of the Basilica with its rich history and how magnificent churches have a positive effect on the up-building of people’s faith and how the closing of churches today has the opposite effect.

Fr. Angelo preaches for the Mass at our annual Queenship of Mary celebration which we do on the Saturday nearest the Queenship Feastday of Aug 22nd. It is a celebration of the establishment of the Franciscans in Griswold and has been the celebration of each step of the completion of our facilities here, including the Lourdes Grotto 1994, the Friary 2000, the Dedication of the Chapel 2001 and the dedication of St. Joseph’s Chapel 2003. Listen as Father explains the need for thanksgiving and for making Our Lady the Queen of our nation, culture and personal lives as the best expression of our Catholic Faith, for it is Our Lord who chose her as His Queen-Mother, and we should imitate Him.
Ave Maria!
