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”.

Mother to the lepers

Rev. Robert Brucciani

Reverend Sister Marianne Matron of the Bishop Home, Kalaupapa, Molokai

To see the infinite pity of this place, The mangled limb, the devastated face, The innocent sufferers smiling at the rod, A fool were tempted to deny his God.

He sees, and shrinks; but if he look again, Lo, beauty springing from the breast of pain! He marks the sisters on the painful shores, And even a fool is silent and adores.

Robert Louis Stevenson Kalawao, Molokai, 22nd May 1889

18 July - August 2019 Mother Marianne Cope (1838 - 1918)

From 1884 until her death in 1918, Mother Marianne of the Sisters of St. Francis gave herself entirely to caring for the lepers of Hawaii - first near the capital, Honolulu, then for 35 years in Molokai. She was a witness to the sacredness of life by being a mother to the world's most abandoned, helpless and suffering souls - caring for them while they yet lived and preparing them for their eternal home in heaven.

32 January - February 2020

STANDING, SITTING & KNEELING AT MASS There are no rubrics that determine the correct posture of the laity at different parts of the Mass, neither is there perfect agreement between the great lights of liturgical practice such as Fortiscue, O'Connell and Sterky (for the French). Most Catholics are witness to diverse and curious variations of practice - not only from one country to the next, but also within the same diocese and even within the same chapel! Often such a diversity of practice is the occasion of distraction, or consternation, or even a loss of charity among the faithful. It is for this reason that the following practice is prescribed by the District Superior for the District of Great Britain.

Low Mass

The principal to remember is that the faithful should kneel throughout except for the Gospel and the Credo.

- During the processional entry stand - From the Sign of the Cross to the Gospel (the frail may sit for the Epistle) kneel - When priest approaches the missal to say the Gospel stand - During the entire Credo stand - After the Oremus of the Offertory (the frail may sit for the Offertory) kneel - During the Preface kneel - At the Last Gospel stand - Post-Missal prayers kneel - As the recesssional (when the priest leaves) stand

Sung Mass and Solemn High Mass

The principal to remember is that the faithful should stand when singing the responses or when singing with the choir (except the Gloria when they sit with the priest).

- During the processional entry stand - During the Asperges stand - Priest goes to the sedelia to vest sit - From the Sign of the Cross to the Kyrie kneel - At the intoning of the Kyrie stand - When the priest sits during the Gloria sit - At the end of the sung Gloria (after the Amen) stand - At the beginning of the Epistle sit - When priest approaches the missal to sing the Gospel stand - At the beginning of the sermon sit - At the end of the sermon stand - During the entire sung Credo stand - After the Oremus of the Offertory sit - After the incensation of the altar (when the MC kisses the priest's hand) stand - During the Preface stand - At the end of the sung Sanctus kneel - After the Oremus at the end of the Canon (just before the Pater Noster) stand - After the sung Agnus Dei kneel - After the priest recites the Communion (just before the Dominus Vobiscum) stand - After the Ite Missa Est kneel - At the Last Gospel until the recession of clergy stand

Please find attached the tentative programme, which is correct at today’s date.

The pilgrimage begins on Saturday 24th October 2020 at 2pm and ends on Monday 26lh October, 2020 at 12 noon.

Finally, I remind you of the events scheduled on 24th September 2020 in Ecône, when the mortal remains of our venerable founder will be transferred from the current cemetery vault to the crypt of the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Wishing you a holy Advent season and I assure you of my priestly dedication.

47 THE LOGO

The black letters stand for the organization itself. The Society of St. Pius X is an international priestly society of common life The design seeks to express something without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood and that which pertains to it. of the organization’s core values, showing ourselves fully “in the light”. Since its foundation by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, the Society has formed priests according to the immemorial teachings of the Catholic Church. By offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the traditional Latin rite and administering the sacraments according to the traditional rites in vigour in 1962 (before the Second Vatican Council 1962-5), the Society’s priests perpetuate what the Church has taught and done throughout its history. By the exercise of the teaching office of its priests, the Society fights against the errors that presently afflict the Church.
