THE LOGO

The grey letters stand for the worldwide fraternal society which is subordinate to the Catholic Faith and the content of all publications. The content - the Faith and the patron - is more important than the fraternal society. The logo becomes more easily readable due to the difference in grey tones.

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”.

The authority of the Church in matters of faith and morals is denied. There is a theological free-for-all. Luther holds up the bible, claiming it to be the only source of Revelation, which he can interpret by his own authority. Saints

25 Walsingham Pilgrimage 2016

The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham was one of the most important Marian shrines in medieval Christendom. It was destroyed by Hen- ry VIII during the Reformation, but still draws Catholic pilgrims. Every year the Society of St. Pius X makes a short 1 mile pilgrimage from the Slipper Chapel to the Abbey ruins where Mass is celebrated.

Fr. Francis Ockerse led the pilgrimage as usual this year on 3rd-4th September. We were blessed with much rain during the Mass on the Saturday and during the of the district to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, but the rain held off for Mass on Sunday. The pilgrimage intentions were vocations and the conversion of England.

St. Helena, the mother of Constantine, was an Eng- lish princess according to local legend. The conse- quence of her being a good Catholic mother was the Christianisation of the Roman Empire after her son became emperor. She led an expedition which found the Holy Cross in Jerusalem (326-8) and died in the year 350 (the photo is a window at St. Saviour's).

Reverend Father,

I thought that you might like to read a letter written to me by my father, the late John Barry, in 1939, and which I have treasured ever since. Perhaps some young Catholics on the threshold of choosing their path through life will find the advice as wise as I did.

My dear Peter,

Your Mother tells me you have begun to consider what you mean to be. That’s all to the good. No-one can settle that except your- self, but there are some points that may help you to decide.

First of all you have not been sent here to make money, or to have a good time. You are here in order to serve God. So consider first of all the careers which are 100% the service of God. Only if you are convinced that you can’t manage one of these are you justified in thinking of something lower down the ladder.

The 100% jobs are the priesthood (the monastic life, the foreign missions and other particular vocations). So consider these care- fully first of all.

If you are sure none of these are for you, there are the jobs that come next, say 75% service of God - teaching, doctor, etc., where a man is devoting his energies to the care of other men. If he decides to be one of these, all right. But if he decides on one of these for the chances of a brilliant career or a good income, all wrong.

Lower still - business; banker; civil servant - where a man does a certain small amount of work for other men (giving employment, or administering other people’s affairs, keeping order, etc.) and that also can be done for God, but even then it is so little that it means giving a lot of spare time to direct service of God if you are not to find yourself empty-handed at the finish.

Then, the 100% no service jobs (stockbroker, bookmaker, etc.) where an awful lot of spare time service must surely be needed, because these are purely selfish jobs, containing no direct service, and not even any indirect service in the shape of work done for other men.

The decision must be yours. We have no wish and no right to in- fluence you, because it is you, and not we, who have to live your life, and whatever career you choose, you will in the normal course be still at it 30 years after your mother and I have gone elsewhere and have no further interest in the matter. So to choose a career to please us would be very foolish.

Choose it to please God and for no other purpose. Which means, choose as high as you can. There’s no loss of humility in that. You can’t even be a decent stockbroker unless God helps you, and the more you try to do to serve Him, the more you will need, and get.

Please consider these few points during . Think often about them and pray to be told your job by Easter. And remember that at present your job is to work hard and pass exams. If you do your utmost to do well the job that lies immediately at hand, that is the best apprenticeship and preparation for a better job.

If you want to ask any questions or further details about any par- ticular job, out with it. We’ll help you all we can.

God bless you, Father

Readers may be interested to know that I became a farmer, a father of a family, and that I thank God for the providential opportunity I had to play some part in the restoration of the Traditional Mass in Scotland.

Yours sincerely, Mr Peter Barry Ratho, Midlothian, Scotland 2004

47 THE LOGO

The grey letters stand for the worldwide fraternal society which is subordinate to the Catholic Faith and the content of all publications. The content - the Faith and the patron saint - is more important than the fraternal society. The logo becomes more easily readable due to the difference in grey tones.

The black letters stand for the organization itself.

The design seeks to express something of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”.

The Society of St. Pius X is an international priestly society of common life without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood and that which pertains to it.
