Fi News #78 – Slip-n-Slide  ( 04min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

During the “Knights of Lepanto Father and Sons Summer Encampment” a “Slip-n-Slide” is set up to cool down.

The Knights of Holy Mary Victrix at Lepanto is a specific group for men only within the Mission of the Immaculate Mediatrix  (MIM). The MIM is the Roman Catholic public association of the faithful, founded by Fr. Stefano M. Manelli and attached to the religious institute that he also founded, the Franciscans of the Immaculate.  The spirituality of the MIM is unlimited consecration to Mary according to the teaching of St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe.  Thus, the Knights of Lepanto is a group of men who are formed to live consecration to Mary in a masculine way.

Ave Maria!

Video – Roving Reporter #78: Pierluigi Molla, Son of a Saint

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Roving Reporter #78 – Fr. Peter Fehlner with Pierluigi Molla ( 13min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Pierluigi Molla is the son of Saint Gianna Molla who died in 1962 after giving birth to his little sister.  St. Gianna developed a fibroma in her uterus during the second month of her pregnancy which required immediate surgery to save her, but since it would certainly terminate her pregnancy she put it off to save her child. Despite the best efforts of the doctors they could not save the heroic mother.

Pierluigi came to Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine in La Crosse, WI to give a pro-life talk on the first anniversary of the opening of the Shrine. While he was there he graciously consented to an interview with Fr. Peter, the rector of the shrine, and shares his memories of his mother and his thoughts on  what her life gave witness to.

Ave Maria!

Cardinal Ratzinger’s Meditations on the 13th and 14th Stations

Friday, April 3rd, 2009
Ave Maria Meditations

THIRTEENTH STATION:

Jesus is taken down from the Cross and given to his Mother

V/. Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi.

R/. Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.

From the Gospel according to Matthew 27:54-55: When the centurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe, and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!” There were also many women there, looking on from afar, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him.

MEDITATION: Jesus is dead. From his heart, pierced by the lance of the Roman soldier, flow blood and water: a mysterious image of the stream of the sacraments, Baptism and the Eucharist, by which the Church is constantly reborn from the opened heart of the Lord. Jesus’ legs are not broken, like those of the two men crucified with him. He is thus revealed as the true Paschal lamb, not one of whose bones must be broken (cf. Es 12:46). (more…)

Jul 05 – Homily – Fr Angelo: Funeral Mass for Thom and Marc Girard

Saturday, July 5th, 2008
Click to Play

Homily #080705 ( 11min) Play – At this funeral Mass for Thom and Marc Girard at St. Mary’s Church in Baltic we learn of the power of faith in the resurrection to give hope in the face of such loss. Thom was faithful to God and family, truly living his vocation as Father, husband and Knight of Lepanto and imbued this faith to his family. Marc, Thom’s eldest son, received from this faith the desire to give himself to God as a Knight of Lepanto and as a friar here in the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, planning on entering this August. Through this faith he had the strength to try to save his Father and his family had the strength to endure this tragedy with calm and hopeful joy. Fr. Angelo reads part of the Knights of Lepanto induction ceremony which Thom wrote (really a first draft) knowing that his son Marc will be the first to go through the new ceremony last May at the Knight’s Encampment. Farewell, good knights. Farewell, good friends.
Ave Maria!
