Following the life of the first community of hermits on Mount Carmel and the primitive Carmelite Rule written for them by St. Albert of Jerusalem in the early 1200s, this community is restoring the observance of those ancient religious, who “in imitation of that holy anchorite the prophet Elijah, led solitary lives” (Jacques de Vitry, Bishop of Acre, History of Jerusalem) for the glory of God and the salvation ​ ​ of souls. The community is establishing a foundation in Fairfield, Pennsylvania where they will help to provide the Traditional Mass and the priestly and sacramental services of dedicated religious priests for the holy daughters of St. Teresa in the area, the Discalced Carmelite Nuns in the Carmel of Jesus, Mary & Joseph in Fairfield. The location of the Hermits in Fairfield, is only minutes from Emmitsburg, MD, near Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary, the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, and the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and is also within driving range of Harrisburg, Washington DC, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Richmond, and even New Jersey or New York. HERMITS OF OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL P.O. BOX 485, FAIRFIELD, PA 17320 WWW.EREMITAEDNMC.ORG [email protected] 1-(707)-722-7635 Committed to a strict religious observance, manual labor, and priestly service to souls, the Hermits of Our Lady of Mount Carmel do not operate any regular business, but subsist on alms and the charity of the faithful. THE FAIRFIELD FOUNDATION In addition to the hidden influence of its prayers and sacrifices, the priests of the Hermits of Our Lady of Mount Carmel offer a specific spiritual apostolate that provides possibilities of spiritual direction and preaching, even occasionally abroad. In addition, once the Hermits receive the necessary resources, they hope to establish a guest and retreat house available as a quiet retreat for priests, seminarians, religious, and the lay faithful visiting the historic, Catholic area and the beautiful chapel of the Discalced Carmelite Nuns in order to be refreshed and enkindled by the rich liturgical and spiritual life that resounds therein. Committed to a full religious observance, manual labor, and priestly service to souls, the community does not operate any regular business, but subsists on alms and the charity of the faithful. “We live upon alms” (St. Teresa of Avila). In the beginning of a religious foundation, there are significant material needs which constitute the vital, one-time investment to establish the permanent materials and setting for the community’s prayer, religious observance, and vocations for generations to come. The Hermits humbly look to the faithful to help provide for this work for Our Lord, Our Lady, the Church, and the sanctification and salvation of many souls. In particular, the community has an acute need for monthly donors to help sustain the work of its spiritual mission, and funds for the seminary studies of several future priests dedicated to serving—in fidelity and holiness—God and the members of the Mystical Body of Christ, the Church. COMMUNITY FINANCIAL NEEDS ❖ Sponsor the community to provide its living expenses and the materials it needs monthly: $3,000 ​ ​ ​ ❖ Provide for the offering of traditional liturgy in perpetuity ​ (traditional altar, chalice, vestments, sacristy items...etc.): $36,500 ​ ❖ Please contact the Hermits for more information on how you can help complete construction on the Fairfield Foundation and establish the permanent home of this traditional religious community for a legacy of vibrant religious life and tradition for generations to come. The Hermits of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a tax-exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. All donations are tax-deductible. Checks can be made payable to: “Hermits of Our Lady of Mount Carmel”. May God reward you for your charitable alms or for kindly spreading the word to others who want to support traditional priestly vocations and religious life! .

  • Mid-Fifteenth-Century English Mass Cycles in Continental Sources, Vol
    Mid-Fifteenth-Century English Mass Cycles in Continental Sources, vol. 1 James Matthew Cook Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2014 Abstract Fifteenth-century English music had a profound impact on mainland Europe, with several important innovations (e.g. the cyclic cantus firmus Mass) credited as English in origin. However, the turbulent history of the Church in England has left few English sources for this deeply influential repertory. The developing narrative surrounding apparently English technical innovations has therefore often focussed on the recognition of English works in continental manuscripts, with these efforts most recently crystallised in Curtis and Wathey’s ‘Fifteenth-Century English Liturgical Music: A List of the Surviving Repertory’. The focus of discussion until now has generally been on a dichotomy between English and continental origin. However, as more details emerge of the opportunities for cultural cross-fertilisation, it becomes increasingly clear that this may be a false dichotomy. This thesis re-evaluates the complex issues of provenance and diffusion affecting the mid-fifteenth-century cyclic Mass. By breaking down the polarization between English and continental origins, it offers a new understanding of the provenance and subsequent use of many Mass cycles. Contact between England and the continent was frequent, multifarious and quite possibly reciprocal and, despite strong national trends, there exists a body of work that can best be understood in relation to international cultural exchange. This thesis helps to clarify the i provenance of a number of Mass cycles, but also suggests that, for Masses such as the anonymous Thomas cesus and Du cuer je souspier, Le Rouge’s So ys emprentid, and even perhaps Bedyngham’s Sine nomine, cultural exchange is key to our understanding.

    “The Roman Mass from the Eve of Trent to the Present and Beyond: An Overview.” A Talk Give at Una Voce Canada’s 2019 Annual General Meeting on Saturday, October 12, 2019 © 2019 John Marc Thomas Pepino I am very pleased to be here; I had a wonderful time meeting the members of the board and listening to the excellent work that is being done. Congratulations on being extraordinary members of the International Federation of Una Voce; that’s quite something—I hope your work continues along the same lines. I am also pleased to see some of my former students: Fr. Geddes and Fr. Oballo as well as Matthew and others including Mr Suen (there he is!). So: the topic of my talk is vast and so I am going to have to put some hedges around it so that I can compress it a bit. I can tell you what I am not going to talk about: I am not going to talk about the Novus Ordo Missae promulgated by Paul VI in 1969—that will have to be another lecture by someone else. I am going to talk about the evolution of the Roman Mass as we know it from the eve of Trent (although I am going to have to go back a bit before that so that you may see the prehistory of the Roman Mass). I’ll talk about how there were different uses and how it was in fact quite diverse until the eve of Trent. And then from Trent on we’ll see a trend towards centralization and standardization of the Mass which will last until the twentieth century.

As such, its provenance exempted it from absorption into the Roman Rite in 1570, when Pope Saint Pius V issued the papal bull Quo Primum Témpore. That Saint had a great respect for tradition and exempted any Latin rite that was already 200 years old or older (at the time of the bull’s promulgation) from conformance to the Roman Rite. Over the objections of St. John of the Cross, the Discalced Carmelites abandoned the Carmelite Rite in favor of the Roman Rite. But those brothers of the “Ancient Observance” did not. On April 30, 2011, another Pope with great respect for tradition, Benedict XVI, issued an instruction regarding his Apostolic Letter Summórum Pontíficum.

These men have, by their example, constantly shown us great love, dedication, patience, support, and how to live wholesome lives. Feast of the Assumption, 2017 Page 40 Page 1 INTRODUCTION This Hand Missal is the result of a collaborative effort on the part of Paul Coffey, David Pietrusza, and Tanya Smith, all of St. Joseph’s Church in Troy, NY, and with assistance from the Latin Liturgy Association. It was developed under the auspices and with the encouragement of our priests: Pastor Sidoti, and Parochial Vicar Beltzner. The Carmelite Rite is a direct derivative of the Rite of the Holy Sepulcher as celebrated in the Holy Land during the Kingdom of Jerusalem, established by the Crusaders in 1099.

  • Rightful Aspirations
    Rightful Aspirations Rightful Aspirations Lt. Col. David Sonnier GP Goretti Publications Dozenal numeration is a system of thinking of numbers in twelves, rather than tens. Twelve is much more versatile, having four even divisors—2, 3, 4, and 6—as opposed to only two for ten. This means that such hatefulness as 1 1 “0.333. ” for 3 and “0.1666. ” for 6 are things of the past, replaced by easy “0;4” (four twelfths) and “0;2” (two twelfths). In dozenal, counting goes “one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, elv, dozen; dozen one, dozen two, dozen three, dozen four, dozen five, dozen six, dozen seven, dozen eight, dozen nine, dozen ten, dozen elv, two dozen, two dozen one. ” It’s written as such: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, E, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1X, 1E, 20, 21. Dozenal counting is at once much more efficient and much easier than decimal counting, and takes only a little bit of time to get used to. Further information can be had from the dozenal societies (http://www.dozenal.org), as well as in many other places on the Internet. © 2007 David L. Sonnier. All rights reserved. Version 2.0.

  • Sacred Words and Music an Absurdly Brief Dash Through the History of Church Music
    Sacred Words and Music An absurdly brief dash through the history of church music Prepared for the exclusive enjoyment of those who attend the Sunday Adult Forum The Honorable Tricia Herban, Presiding (Offered in spite of the goodly advice of Sara Seidel, Director of Music) St. John’s Episcopal Church, Worthington, Ohio Sunday December 10, 2017 Focus is (mostly) on England ➢ Plainchant to Polyphony (10 mins) ➢ Impact of the Reformation (10 mins) ➢ The English Christmas Carol (10 mins) Liturgy & Chant ▪ Liturgy is comprised of the texts (and actions) in a worship service ▪ Chanting is the speaking of the liturgy in a series of tones in fairly close consecutive pitches. No other pitches, no harmony. A plain song. [Chanting’s roots are in Jewish traditions of song (esp. the Psalms) and worship.] Testamentum Eternum Cistercian Link In the Beginning, there were only words Early Christians were, for the most part, converted Jews. As such, their traditions included chanting as an integral part of public worship. As Christian liturgies evolved, chanting was a given. And yet, at the time there was no means of indicating the desired tone, no means of indicating changes in tone, no way to convey rhythm, no way to preserve and replicate how the liturgy should sound – except to learn by imitation. Common Liturgy & Chant Pope Gregory (590-604) called for a common liturgy in order to consolidate as many regional variants as possible. Several sorts of chant had also developed – but most eventually gave way to the Gregorian Chant which peaked around 1100. The Sarum Use chant was used in England until the Reformation.
