Join us for Solemn Vespers with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction this Sunday, August 14th at 4:00 PM.  Hear Vespers - the evening prayers - in beautiful solemn chant.

Join us on Monday, August 15th for an Extraordinary Form Mass on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Following Mass, Father Felix will perform the Blessing of the Herbs and Fruits.

Since the earliest centuries, Christians from both East and West have blessed herbs and fruit on the Feast of the Assumption in the belief that these sacramentals provide protection against harm and danger. This custom hearkens back to the Mosaic Law and teaches us something about our Lady's role in the economy of salvation. Eve foolishly used herbs (fig leaves) to hide and aggravate her sin, thereby bringing about a disorder of body and soul. By contrast, Mary, the new Eve whose soul and body are untouched by sin or the decay of death (as we celebrate today), foreshadows a healing of our corporeal frailties, a healing represented by herbs. Likewise, fruits are an appropriate symbol for the new Eve because she never ate of the forbidden fruit but brought forth only the fruit of good works and, most importantly, the Fruit of her womb, Jesus Christ. The fruit blessed today thus betokens the fruit of a holy and generous life which we are called to enjoy from our Lord through the patronage of His mother.

Please place your herbs and fruit (bagged is okay) on the table in the back of the church when you enter Mass.  The blessing will follow Mass.

Monsignor Golasinski is turning 89 years old and he STILL celebrates Mass almost every day of the week plus several monthly devotions, such as First Friday and Project Mercy!  Please send your birthday cards, letters, and gifts or gift cards for Monsignor to our our PO Box.  

May God continue to bless Monsignor with many more years of health and vitality!
