Renovation Progress at St. Stan's in Milwaukee

As St. Stanislaus approaches its 150th anniversary, preparations are being made to restore the Church to the greatest extent possible.

I would like to thank Matt of Badger Catholic for blogging about the restoration as well as the many other fine blogs you can see to the side from the area that have also chronicled the restoration.  Another thank you to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee for their generous post on the renovation!

A few pictures of the new stained glass windows and other parts of the renovation, followed by an explanation of what they are

Juventutem Chicago Meeting talks 3/26

Over Lent I was blessed to attend, as a Sursum Corda Milwaukee Chapter representative, the Juventutem Chicago Chapter meeting at St. John Cantius.  Some good food, some networking and great food also followed.  But most importantly I was able to hear two great talks given by two fantastic priests Fr. C. Frank Phillips and Fr. Armand de Malleray.


The first talk given was by Fr. Phillips who is the Pastor of St. John Cantius, as well as the Founder of The Canons of St. John Cantius.  This community that he founded is dedicated to restoring the sacred to every aspect of the Churches life.  The canons celebrate Mass in both the ancient and new rites with a true sense of reverence and a firm adherence to the teachings put forth by Sacrosanctum Concillium. In the following talk, Father addresses his history with the Parish, the founding of the Canons and his great hope for the future of the Church and how a return to sacredness is key.


The second talk was delivered by the keynote speaker Fr. Armand de Malleray (FSSP), who is the Chaplin to Juventutem international.  The talk is primarily concerned with the founding of Juventutem, which is a ministry of young adults for young adults, and for the whole church.  His view on how the groups can grow and spread are included in the talk. He also takes a number of questions from those attending on various topics.  I do hope you will enjoy!

+Please Pray, Pray, and Pray some more for the young adult groups like Juventutem and Sursum Corda (ICKSP)+

Seat of Wisdom, Pray for Us!!

A few upcoming St. Stanislaus (ICKSP) events to note and attend

Im getting off the internet for Lent, but I wanted to let you know about a few things:

I think it worthwhile to note a few upcoming events people are invited to regardless if they are parishioners at the Institutes Milwaukee apostolate.

The first is an upcoming Mass at Holy Hill

The second event is actually to be held at St. John Cantius in Chicago. New Liturgical Movement noted this event a while back here

The final event is a regular Sursum Corda meeting to be held March 28th after the 6:30 low mass.  Canon Jayr of the Institute will deliver a lenten reflection for all attending. Refreshments will be provided and people are invited afterwards to join in on some volleyball actions.

EF mass at Holy Hill March 13th!!!!

PLEASE SPREAD THIS ACROSS THE INTERNET!!!!!

Please come!

The ICKSP is shunned in favor of a "Inter-Religious and Intercultural Center" and articles on relations with SSPX

The Eponymous Flower: "Inter-Religious and Intercultural Center" Instead...:

Msgr. Gilles Wach is the founder and prior general of the Institute of Christ the King.

You can read the whole story above.  But the synopsis is that the ICKSP has been looking to move their growing semanary to a new location since thier current buildings are incapable of holding the growing semenarian population.  The institute then came across a possibility to buy an old pontifical semenary but have been met with disdain and distrust by what seems to be the whole European beauracy that perceieves anything that has pre-council aspects as being a danger to them.

 Therefore the institute was disallowed an opporutinity to purchase the land and semanary and instead more mindless babel about interreligous dialogue gets promoted at the expense of the formation of priests that will save souls....



Why the hate?



I also wanted to make a few more articles i came across lately on the relations between the SSPX and Rome more available and you can find them below.  They are all fantastic!
